But did you find these two?

http://allmydata.org/source/tahoe/trunk/docs/running.html
http://allmydata.org/source/tahoe/trunk/docs/using.html

I'm not sure if they are easy enough to find.

I think running.html and using.html should fill that role.  Either you
didn't find them or they didn't have enough information to give you a
good start.  Perhaps the two of them should be merged into a single
"quick start" document?  If you could post actual text to include in
the docs that would help a lot.
