itself. Not the most organized, but there is a lot.

Indeed there is.  But the vast majority of it is either documentation
for the Squeezebox, or information of interest only to developers -
neither useful nor even intelligible to a person who just wants to get
Slimserver installed and listen to some music.  There is almost nothing
about installing and configuring slimserver itself.

The "Getting Started" page is a great example:  It thanks you for
buying a Squeezebox.  Tells you how to connect it to your stereo, how
to connect to your network, even spends a paragraph describing how to
plug it in.  Gives a blow by blow of network setup.  But it barely
mentions the "Squeezebox Server Computer" - not a word on what that is,
or what to do if you don't happen to have one awaiting the arrival of
your new Squeezebox.

You don't really mean that.  If you believe your user is unable to
distinguish between help for the browser and help for Slimserver, then
why have the help link on the default screen in the first place?
