I agree with Kieren. A “Help” button in Frescobaldi that could show you documentation about each feature would be great. I find it easier to just go and search the LSR (which gives relevant results to what I’m trying to do, with each snippet documented and exemplified), than trying to know what each of OLL’s components are for. Documentation about each of the OLL’s packages/modules is very scarce at the moment.

Hi again,
Of the many exciting developments discussed in Salzburg, one of the most intriguing [to me] was the idea that OLL might be made into a “full-class citizen of the ’Pond”.
Evidently, part of the problem of increasing uptake is the “difficulty” [always a relative term!] of installing and using OLL. If (e.g.) Frescobaldi had an “Install OLL” button/process, and the application had real access to the innards (for code-completion, etc.), it would seem like a no-brainer that uptake would increase [though exactly how big an increase that would be is hard to predict].
I know everything is a “chicken-and-egg” problem… but is there a way that Frescobaldi can add this feature "immediately", and we deal with improving the actual OLL structure and code later, once we see how (if?) uptake increases?
Surely having more usage will do one (or more) of the following beneficial things:
1. Increase awareness of OLL in the community.
2. Attract more contributors.
3. Prove (or disprove) the value of continuing to develop & maintain OLL.
Thoughts?
Kieren.
