These two documents were incredibly outdated, but also had almost identical concerns. This patch updates the content and merges the two documents. Note that this guide is still separate to the quickstart guide, which is intended for developers. In future patches in this blueprint, the file & navigation structure will be altered to make this distinction more clear.
