h2. -Clean foswiki.- 

 -It still contains outdated content like http://www.rudder-project.org/foswiki/Download/WebHome which is the second Google result for "Download Rudder".- 

 Could be the first page of the manual. 

 h2. Add a getting started section

 ** Basic node management, quick explanation of the concepts 
 ** Create directives (built-in+technique editor, with file copy, templating), rules, quick explanation of the concepts.
