A getting started section would be a good initial first step to make it less intimidating. #31 still speaks to me in terms of redesigning the whole thing, and making it more inviting instead of text-dense.

Completely agreed @ruebot! I think when we started with this design, content "fit" the model, but I think we are definitely starting to out grow.
