Allrighty everybody, the new page is at
http://userbase.kde.org/Amarok/QuickStartGuide, and it looks dreadful,
which is to be expected. I removed the TOC, because Userbase should
generate its own, based on headings. So I assume instead of all the
span and font size crap, we'll need to put in actual headings, such as
h1, h2, h3. As HTML is meant to be.

Yes, I'm old-fashioned!

And as predicted, the images are missing. However, there are
file-names to help people remember what they are.

The old Google Doc is still all there so we can consult it. But now is
the time to cut all the fat, please. This is a Quick Start Guide, to
get the new user off to a good start. I agree with Pete that a nice
variety of images would be good, including Windows. I'm sure
Nitrostemp can give us some if we specify what we want (he's in
#amarok).

Verbiage that is cut can possibly be re-used in the full Manual -- and
I want to start that soonest.

Let's have fun!

Valorie
