As a newby to hugin, reading hugin README I've always wondered what
does this phrase mean:

- nona, a simple replacement for PTStitcher (doesn't support most
features of PTStitcher, but is faster, opensource and
will be extended in the future).

It supposes that the reader knows what PTStitcher is. But the user
isn't given any info about PTStitcher.

I think we must change it:

- nona, a simple (explain what nona actually does)

BTW, after 6 months working with hugin and reading docs, I can't still
understand what is nona for.

It does geometrical and photometric distortions to photos and writes
the output to image files. The parameters are specified in a .pto
project, i.e. nona doesn't decide what the distortions are going to
be, it just does what it is told to do.

Ok, very well. It's important to put this explication in the README!

It's not a great description, but the job nona does isn't very
intuitive. I've put it in http://wiki.panotools.org/Nona so
eventually it will end up in the help/manual, which is more likely
to get read than the README.

If you think that the README is not read or better not read or better
other docs/manuals should be read, then suggest to delete it to avoid
confusion, no?

no! at least one person (Paolo) found it to be (partially) useful. I
rather improve the usefulness of all different tools (in this case,
documentation tools), than limit users to a single arbitrarily form of
documentation that fits only those who think alike (borgs).

long live diversity. resistance is futile, not!
