I don't see that addressing the audience I have in mind.
That of computer _user_ rather than software creator or maintainer.
I'm beginning to suspect that what I'm looking for is not as tied

some links there that led me to unexpected places.

I will do more browsing in order to come up with a better question.
Thank you.
