+this is a woefully incomplete attempt to list a few "rough edges" of pyBM, which may cause confusion to newbies:
+
+***
+
+
+*  https://github.com/Bitmessage/PyBitmessage/blob/v0.6/src/bitmessagecli.py is a CLI app to run BM which works only in /src/  move it away into some "attic" dir to avoid confusion
+
+* bitmessageui.ui in v0.6 is outdated and not used long ago. If you want to edit xml, use https://github.com/g1itch/PyBitmessage/tree/ui-refactoring
+Though it has translation problems. using 
+
+     `    pyuic4  /src/bitmessageqt/bitmessageui.ui   -o  src/bitmessageqt/bitmessageui.py `   will break the whole app now.
