Hi John, I'd thought post 1.3 of slowly migrating much of the wiki content into .rst format and the source tree. A lot of the wiki info is related to older versions, having it stored in git means: - we can remove the non-current information - make it available through the website as a link to 0.11.0 or whatever And yes, it does need help. The one-page website is ideal as a sales story but we should make it simpler / easier to find other stuff. Building from source is one of those things that is a massive hurdle the first few times you try it, then embarassingly obvious later on, so one forgets what is important. Even just adding your roadblocks into a jira ticket will help enormously in reminding us what needs to be fixed. A+ Dave
