like to have:
example of Datafile workflow
from data.
Added some quick-start doc that attempts to explain things in jbenet/datadex@8b3584b
Check it out: http://datadex.io/doc
Linked from front-page too: http://datadex.io
Thoughts @brianholderchow ?

This is a step in a helpful direction. This new documentation does a swell job of explaining what data
needs from me and what I need to do to communicate with it.
However, there may be value in playing with voice. For example, GitHub's guides always explain why a tool needs a piece of information and why the user must enter a particular command. It's a subtle consideration that may help visitors grok more quickly.

Here is my proposal for a minimal quick start guide. It adds incremental changes to the docs you've provided by attempting to examplify and simplify:
https://github.com/jbenet/datadex/blob/feat/docs-quick-start/web/md/doc_quick-start.md
- Since I haven't had a chance to dogfood Datafiles, these proposed changes do not address Datafiles.
- I believe there's a place for both short form and long form instructions. For a new user, there is considerable benefit to separating them to reduce noise.

Thanks! that's much cleaner. I'll put my longer explanations lower in the file. Think it worth splitting into two pages? Docs > Quick Start
and Docs
?

Noise reduction is such an important part of a useful quick start guide, I really believe quick start is best on its own page

The links could take users to comprehensive documentation. On the comprehensive documentation, there would be no need for brevity.
