OK... so, "documentation" will have to be "docs" (or anything shorter)...

For the rest of the images... I tried to design something sexy and 
attractive rather than simply useful. The main example is the "press 
play now" image, which does not give any information, but simply states 
that Liquidsoap tries to do things simply and well.

Now, with the 1, 2, 3 arrow, the "easier than learning your ABC's" 
tagline was a musical joke (it's from an 80's song by Kylie Minogue), 
and as such I understand that noone will get it ;) If I respect the 
"keyword + tagline" scheme, we get:
1) discover: see what it can do
2) install: create the radio of your dreams
3) learn: ???

I don't think that "learn" is a good thing, since what scares many users 
is the learning curve (functional language structures + our own concepts 
+ ...). OTOH, there _is_ a learning curve. Furthermore, semantically, 
the arrow head is colored in blue, the color of the third step. It means 
you have to learn forever... :/

That was my POV on the topic :)
