I've replaced my version with yours, improved the 'English' (even
though Jeremias is all but fluent) and fixed a few 'typos' like
'favourite' ;-)
BTW, the additions you made for Forrest were superb! Nice work!
Hopefully they'll be able to fix the little issues raised (like what
to do with table headers if there isn't a <th/> element).

That's great Jeremias... It's more along the lines of what I wanted
anyway. Thanks!

Hmm, for me that already goes beyond a Quick Start Guide. Many of the
listed features will only be interesting to the user once he's actually
managed to take the first steps. In that case, you can easily just point
him to the versioned docs index. Otherwise, we have to maintain too many
duplicate links here and we probably confuse the user with a lot of
details.
I therefore built a counter-proposal for this page. It involves just the
minimal steps to run a "Hello World!". Find it attached.
