575:: (1) By "useful", I mean useful for our core readership, high school and college students, who use Knowledge more than anyone else. They are especially likely to look for articles about software, and we might as well have such, and work to improve it. However, I am not an expert on the topic, so I acknowledge that this can't help very much. (2) By barely notable, I mean that I could not

I'd also like to query where exactly the editors above stating that there are no sources have looked for them. My two links turn up on the first page of search results for the article title, the book I cite on the first page of a google books search for the title. None of these were hard to find.
