Yeah, I mean basically a person is potentially one of 3 archetypes using Lithium in my view:

* A core developer of Lithium (not someone you need to worry about teaching, lol)
* A convert from another framework (my gut says this is ~70-80% of your potential users)
* Someone picking up a framework for the first time (the remainder), and there just doesn't seem to be that big of a pool of advanced programmers flipping from procedural to OOP at this point.  To me this means newer people.

The next natural question that will follow is, "from where will the converts come?"  My guess would be any non-5.3 framework, especially if there is not a clear 5.3 version actively under development and reasonably close to release.  

I  don't know, this is a lot of my typical marketing pontification that leaks out from time to time.  I am just trying to get clear in my mind what the right answer looks like to get someone from download to successful app with as little frustration as possible and get them to a point where when they are stuck, the first thought is, "oh let me go look that up in the user guide".

I hate using terms like "dumb down" becuase that really doesn't say it right, but I do think it has to be simple enough not only for less advanced coders, but also for people whose first language is not English.
