I have made a start on this, please see www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/System/Installation2.
Some of the old installation material was out of date and has been discarded. The new Quick Start instructions are very simple (and Mac should be like Windows). Otherwise, the detailed instructions are separate for each platform. This should be easier to follow than the old instructions that tried to describe all platforms together. It is the layout that I am most concerned about, and I hope that this layout is acceptable. Otherwise everyone is free to update the instructions on each page.
