Not necessarily, although a link to a "Getting Started" set of pages
would be nice.

I had more in mind a copy of the Reference Manual, 1 section per page,
with the ability to link terms we take for granted to definitions, to
illustrative portions of the existing wiki, to related articles, to
archived emails that answer questions ...

More an annotated Reference Manual, using the manual's organization as
the structure. The basic goal being to make the (annotated) Manual
more useful to newbies.

Of course, that's just my fantasy. Others may have better fantasies.

Best regards,

Paul
