This isn't really an issue, just a comment : First, let me state that I've been designing websites since 1997, and while I do know my HTML and CSS pretty well at this point, I don't know any javascript. That being said, I've always been able to successfully implement scripts, from jQuery to mooTools and everything in between.

Now, I just spent 3 days trying to get this to work, and am having the hardest time, because I don't know javascript. I'm not saying your installation notes aren't well-written. I'm sure they are. But if you dumb them down another notch, you will see a much wider audience starting to use this script in all their site designs. People like me.

Something simple like : 1) Copy this text here. 2) Copy this file here. 3) Use this file only if you need [insert feature here]. etc.

Right now, after 3 days of trial and error, I seem to have it working by copying the function call word for word... but the sections won't vertically center like they do in the sample pages. And I still don't know what modernizr and flexi do, and whether or not I need to copy those too. Know what I mean?

I really want to make this thing a part of the sites I'm putting together, but the docs need to be dumbed down a bit further.
