I disagree. In my case (and, I posit, many users who are not new to  
the project) "Get Started" does not suggest what I'm looking for. I  
already started a long time ago, I'm looking for specific end-user  
reference information. What I really want is a "Documentation" link on http://chandlerproject.org
