The landing page should explain the main concepts and the documentation should give more detail... but maybe the landing page is very high-level and the docs too detailed? And there is nothing in between?
I'm being a little unfair actually. Having looked at it again I think it's more that I looked at the front page and got the general idea and then idly clicked through to the docs and decided that was more detail than I wanted to read given the overview didn't sound like it was something that interested me that much.
I mean it would probably still be quite daunting for somebody that did want to get into more detail I guess but I think I wound up there following through from some of the other stuff about arbitrary branching and I was mostly just trying to see what changes I (as a packager largely avoiding modularity) might find it impossible to avoid and that was just the point at which I decided I wasn't likely to find anything useful to that goal there and bailed out.
