Gollumscave, as a guy who's done some pretty terrible technical writing in the past, I'd like to give you this.

Seriously, impressive stuff. While I might not have made some of the same organizational choices, I have to give you major props for thoroughness and dedication.

Nice document! You deserve big compliments about the quality of writing.

As an XBMC newby, I have to say that this guide doesn't suite my needs.
This is more a reference to my lack of patience, as more often I find the practical approach the fastest/easiest way. What I'm looking for is for example a keystroke/shortcut table. I would use the guide for troubleshooting purposes tho.
For my girl however, this document could be the perfect manual/reference guide.

In some previous postings was mentioned that we should pick this up as a community project. If someone can tell me how..I would be pleased to be involved.
This way I can make my contribution to this awesome OS and have a decent documentation laying next to it.

Some suggestions...
- Create specific 'HowTo' for installation instructions.
This way you can make the beginners guide more generic on XBMC's functionality's.
- Remove none XBMC related content. For example the Audio output details section.
- Create some more bullets/section headers for a more 'screenable' document.

Keep up the good job!

- please note that English is not my native language.
