My feeling is that somebody wrote this who has a lot of knowledge about the underlying technical fundaments of Tahoe, which I (and probably a large amount of potential users) dont have - and maybe even not so much need at the beginning. If there is a tahoe USER list that i did not find, please tell me where it is!

The quickstart guide is the correct place to start.  We had this
discussion during the dev hangout last week and Zooko and I talked with
another user regarding it on Twitter.  It would be most helpful if you
could create specific tickets for items/sections which are confusing,
difficult, unclear, etc.  This would allow us to make the appropriate
changes.

You are on the correct user list.

Cheers,
