I think some simpler documentation would help. The Wiki does have a wealth of knowledge on it - but Wiki's are still quite geeky. Sure keep the wiki, but don't call it a wiki, just call it the "Online Manual" (the average Joe might not know what a wiki is). Also I wouldn't describe the layout of the wiki as intuitive.
Diagrams are very useful. I haven't yet come across an overall user-friendly diagram of how to setup a squeezebox. A lot of people see my squeezebox at home ask me how it works, and then are just baffled by the explanation. A small diagram that shows where your music is, where the server is (why you need a server), where the squeezebox is, where your wireless network fits in, where squeezenetwork fits in - would make it much easier to get an overall picture. Also if you have no knowledge of the Squeezebox world, and you end up at the slimdevices website, there is nothing that really tells you what it all does. For example - visit the slimdevices website and click on product info and Squeezebox. Nowhere does it mention that you can play music that is stored on your PC. (It mentions that it plays digital music files - but thats geek talk again) Nowhere does it say, in order to play music from your PC you will need SlimServer. It does mention you can still play music when your computer is turned off - but hang on, it hadn't even mentioned a computer until now - its confusing. I did a bit of reading before buying my first Squeezebox - but I still had no idea what the difference was between using the Squeezenetwork and a Slimserver. Again, from the slimdevices homepage - where is the information about what Squeezenetwork is and how it relates to the squeezebox? I think a slight redesign of the site and clarification of how it all works would make all the difference.
