Hey, I like the way it's written. Well structured and the Overview table gives a nice overview. Also the Getting Started guide is well readable.
There seems to be a bit overlap with some other Wiki pages, but I don't think that's a big issue... So I think the format is good. If more depth is needed, we can always add some extra references to more in-depth articles or Wikis.
