Module developers, please read.....

I've been developing websites since 1997 and know my way around html, php, css, mysql. I'm not very familiar with OpenCart but impressed by the the vast range of extra modules. So far, I have installed 6-7, both commercial and free.
However, I am far from impressed by the lack of installation and configuration instructions. Quite the contrary. I'm not completely stupid (my wife may argue that though) but it pisses me off to no limit when I install a module and then have to spend the next half hour to plow through every single instance of the admin interface in the search of a way to handle it.
Please, please, please, please. Understand that most (or even all?) of your customers are far from being OpenCart experts. We're the web devloping guys who perhaps make one single OpenCart installation a year. If you help us utilizing your modules by obvious, clear instructions, it'll be easier for us to sell in OC to our clients. Hence, at the end of the day, you will make more money.
So, for each module you create, also provide an instruction so basic and step-by-step that even my grandmother should be able to follow it.
Thanks!
