This would be the real tough one.

There should also be a way to write some kind of descripton for the

Yes, if you understand it. It is written be serious IT professionals for 
serious IT professionals. Even a serious none IT professional has 
problems understanding it.

Our problem is that we all do not know the people who would speak the 
language none IT professionals understand.

The original writer sounds like being skilled enough to have serious try 
on this one if he gets the information he needs for this.
