I agree. The real gap we have are platform-specific getting-started
tutorials. All the tricky initial steps are very platform specific.
These tutorials could be put into the wiki initially.

What I'd really like to see would be some Windows-specific

I have a Windows tutorial, which is based on the EDB One-click
installer.

This is a step-by-step guide, from downloading a binary
