Welcome aboard! It would be great if you could take a look at the system
requirements section. All we really need to do is figure out an
"absolute minimum" and "recommended minimum" specification and write
them up in plain text (initially). There's a community wiki page that
might be a useful guide [1], although it's far too long for us to use
verbatim.

The installation guide is targeted at non-technical users, so we'll need
to be careful about the choice of terminology, and should test the
section with a few users to see how clear they find it. Would you like
to have a go at working on this?

Thanks,

Phil
