 * Hi, while you developed this plugin surely you came across some aspects of sliders
   related to wordpress that just simply popup, like e.g.:
    - from **where** exactly is the image / content of the slider taken?
    - can the slider show text?
    - can it use already available content from posts, pages, galleries?
    - how can the slider be customized?
 * These are just a few very obvious things – certainly these thoughts are not new
   for you, as you must have asked all these things (and some more) while developing
   your slider.
 * So WHY TF are you not informing potential users about these important feature
   details? Why on earth is it so hard for wordpress plugin authors to write a description
   or documentation that actually has some valuable information?
 * Please also describe the more general aspect of how your slider integrates into
   wordpress – after installing I see an empty “Slider” admin panel – is this a 
   bug? I have already pictures in the gallery, but your plugin show that “gallery”
   is empty??? Or is your plugin just hijacking the term “gallery”? Are you in deed
   using “own” pictures for your gallery? Man, this is very shortminded – we have
   already a quite capable cms, there are enough content types and powerful tools
   to manage images – WHY TF are you building a parallel, completely unrelated data
   structure just for slides??? This makes no sense at all.
 * Pleaase, do users a favor and step a while back, take some time of conceptually
   rethinking your plugin, maybe take a look around other slider plugins – btw this
   can be a very funny experience, I tell you, I am just now checking several slider
   plugins and I it is very interesting and funny to see how bad ideas can be…
