Admittedly, the current documentation is a bit "stale" and in need of
a general scraping away of "old  paint".  Here's some of my thoughts:

There's a few different kinds of content being presented:
* basic introduction and step-by-step download/setup instructions
* reference information (formatting, browser-specific issues, etc.)
* current version status and update details
etc.

* A lot of the current "intro" content could certainly be written
differently so that it grabs "potential users" and walks them through
download/installation with a step-by-step "wizard" style.

* The "status" content (or at least a link to it) could be featured
more prominently "above the fold" (i.e., visible without scrolling the
initial page display)

* There's also been some significant changes in the "download" and
"file saving" functionality that needs to be properly explained in the
various bits of browser-specific reference materials.

In general, I think the site needs a major infusion of "energy":
simpler, cleaner content, more interaction with "bright shiny buttons"
to click on... things like that.

Documentation updates are actually quite near the top of my "to do"
list, so you might see some re-writes happening soon.  If you have
some specific content you would like to suggest... feel free to post
it (or send it to me privately if you prefer).  If you post it online,
I suggest starting a new thread (e.g., "TiddlyWiki.com content
suggestions").

enjoy,
