We are working on this, the first section is now about the installer.

https://koha-community.org/manual/17.05/html/

It goes through web installer, then onboarding tool, before the Admin, but yes, we could move the admin section down. You can either send a patch, or do that in gitlab and send a merge request.

(Will be for 17.11, not changing the structure of 17.05 now :) So make changes on the master branch)

Katrin has written a page, with sphinx and gitlab the barrier should be much easier, Im hoping the doc manager role is more and more that, managing, not authoring.

I've been wondering for a while if it would be a good idea to move the administration section farther back in the manual. As it stands, a new user, first reading through the manual will read through a page or two of introduction, and then get thrown straight into 600+ system preferences. I'm coming up on four years working with Koha, and I *almost* feel equipped to read through all of those, end-to-end.

Of course no-one actually reads the manual that way; we tell people to browse the table of contents and cherry pick the parts that they find the most interesting, and expand their knowledge from there -- but maybe we could provide a friendlier more intuitive introduction which, pre-supposes that a reader is sitting in front of a system that is configured with some sane default settings, and gives a tour of Koha's features? That seems like a much friendlier approach.

Just my two cents,
