What do you guys think about the intro text for the docs? Two things:

- A nice landing image could help go a long way in people knowing where TlieMill starts and stops. Like:

- Since especially with Windows the installer base is going to be less technical we might want some more "intro-ish" language?

Like (maybe a little less douchie):
