There is some validity to your concerns, I guess. But remeber this: =
PmWiki
pages (and I am assuming this will be all the documentation,etc) are not =
going
to look like the pages the admin creates. I am certain that Concrete =
Street
is not going to be creating new pages off of the TextFormattingTips page. =
And
if they do, they will immmediately see that this is not the look they =
wanted.

I couldn't figure it out the first time. It would have helped if there had =
been an obvious answer to 'where do I start?' What about a new text link =
called Home in the bottom right hand corner of the page, that takes you to =
a predefined page location where the administrator expects people to start =
from. By default, it might be called "Wiki.Home" for example.
(I created my very first page by editing Main/HomePage then clicking on =
the ? link. I might easily have done the same thing in the Sandbox.)
Then on the Main.Home page, add an instruction to 'when you are ready to =
start creating pages, click on Home in the bottom right, then edit the =
page'. The administrator may set this to be the same as clicking on the =
image in the top left, but for a default installation they would be =
different.
