== this page needs a reboot ==
As researcher in the end-user programming/development area I find this entire wiki entry to be very confusing and even misleading. The initial author states "When I started this page, I was trying to describe KBE’s impact on Engineering." This is not a good starting point for this kind of page. End User computing is a much more general concept. Sure, SQL and VB may qualify as examples of end-user computing but it is much more important to capture some kind of meaningful definition of what end user computing is and could be. Examples are important but certainly will have include a much broader range of applications including web app with end-user computing support (e.g., Yahoo Pipes), spreadsheets, email filters, photoshop actions, ...etc.
I am sorry but neither the content nor the structure of this article works well. For instance, under the heading of research there is a discussion of internationalization. I the Wiki spirit one could just rewrite bits and pieces but I think one would have to really start from scratch here. Some books (e.g., End-user Computing: Concepts, Methodologies, Tools and Applications) and journals are forthcoming. Perhaps these would serve as a better starting place than the original authors reflections on personal experiences with specific technologies.
Do not understand me wrong. These are some good points being made here but I advise to reboot this entry and start from scratch.
