Hello Risto,

I agree with most of your observations and suggestions. I like
especially the idea of talking about the reasons for the features.
I have two additions:

Yes surely there should be some sort of "invitation" to play with KPA.
But I myself liked the videos, especially the first one. It very clearly
shows in less than 5 minutes what's the main "selling point" of KPA I
was impressed by the simplicity and power of the search interface, when
I first saw it here. And you also don't have to read the help, to play
with the demo later on.
But this surely depends on the type of person, just starting to use KPA.
I imagine, there are people who prefer to just start with the demo. So
it should be possible to choose what to begin with.

While having another look at the first video I also found, that there
seems to be no direct way to get to them later on, e.g. a help menu entry.

This shouldn't come up on first try, because I think it is pointless at
that moment. To give reasonable answers I need to have some experience
using KPA. So this should come up only after some usage.
