Revision as of 21:20, 5 September 2019
There are a couple of issues with this guide:
- contains a lot more than just "quick start" information
- has no images
- in general a little too wordy
A good "quick start" guide needs to get the player up to speed: 1-2-3-done, without having to read much and filter out information that is not relevant.
I am planning to edit this page towards that end.
