I think Raphaël meant that you would write a lightweight wrapper for your 
beloved stepmother, not that you would introduce her to the CLI ;-)

Of course, you can try the development release, but you'd need to first 
validate that it won't crash in your stepmother's face first, because well, 
it is a development version afterall, and I guess she is not to much into 
debugging...
