Ah yes, a checksum would be important to have. People should be able to 
verify that their download went correctly, since even a slight 
incorrectness in an image can cause problems later on which cannot be 
traced back to an incorrect download.
An sha1 checksum should do fine.

I'll write my feedback in a new thread to avoid bloating this one.

Oh actually there already is a "Beginner's FAQ" with quite some useful 
information here:
http://community.kde.org/Plasma/Active/Info/FAQ
Could you please add your stuff to that page? We could then link to it.
In earlier releases we had a bookmark to the FAQ in the Welcome 
Activity, but that seems to have got lost at some point, so we need to 
link to it from the pages people are most likely to visit when they 
install PA.

We have quite a few features which nobody will ever have any chance of 
finding by themselves (e.g. how to create or delete a tag, how to remove 
a file from an Activity, ...), not even tech-savvy people. For those 
things, we absolutely need the FAQ.

Not a manual (actually nobody but my dad want to read a manual), but 
short answers to the most frequent questions are a must.
