The two manual links on the front page do not provide any warning as to file type (PDF), or the file size (2-3 MB).
This may cause some users some difficulty.

Suggest you add these to the descriptions (changes in red):

Hi,

This is a great idea. Thanks for suggesting it. I'll file the request and try to get it into an upcoming release.

Thanks,
Julie

If there is an HTML or plain text version of these documents it would also be very helpful, as I sometimes do development work on a remote machine and like to have my documentation in easy reach on the machine I am working on.
