I will send an e-mail to Jonas Berlin (the author of the guide) and ask 
him if he is OK with that.

For me personally, it is the fact that the guide is oriented on tasks, 
such as "How do I add a user, on the server and on the client", and it 
gives a very visual and intuitive explanation of the required steps.

I was not able to find anything like that on the Wiki, perhaps I just 
missed it. Otherwise, we could try to merge the existing information 
with some of the visual clues that Jonas came up with.

OK. Given that the wizard is one of the strongest assets of Boxi, that 
does make it some kind of deal breaker at the moment :-) Any idea what 
is not working, or when/if you would be able to fix that?
