Comment:

 the current quickstart is just a stub. the contents links take you
 nowhere.
 there's just a see-also back to the main site's user guide.

 About the only thing I can see to do with it is start python and type
 "import iris", not much room for an item on the Geospatial menu there.
 Maybe we could auto-launch an existing ipython + Iris mini working example
 environment?

 is there example data on the disc? what's a nice hello-world example
 showing off some of what the software can do in 5-10 minutes?

 as it is, there's not much to show other than the overview page, but our
 goal is working ("live") examples not just flyer pages.


 ??

 thanks,
 Hamish
