Thank you for your efforts so far. I highly recommend that you stay with the PDF format. I HATE wiki's with every fiber of my being. They are horrible to navigate through, not easily downloadable to be viewed offline, and generally simply a mess of useless information.
I could go on and on about the defects of wiki's. A book format is certainly the very best for a beginner to understand.
I will review your pdf in more detail later, but I wanted to recommend to you that you add into the very first pages a keyboard list of commands for the beginner. Others have mentioned the importance of staying with key commands, but that is no help to a beginner if they do not actually know what those commands are!
I tore my hair out numerous times finding the list of keyboard commands, I found them once, and now cannot find them a second time! The search routine on this forum is less than useless, so a beginner needs pertinent information right up front. You also need to tell people to RIGHT mouse click to open menu's, or hit the context button "C"
Maybe you did tell them already, but I did not see it <S>
Thank you once again.
