A new user's perspective

So after talking with Jake it seems like the following need improvement for the New User:

-A big picture summary of astrobear would be nice to start the absolute new user off (computational domain, cell-centered fluid variables, spatio/temporal solution of Euler equations, data files, refinement, objects, etc)

-Setting up the mesh manually in the "writing your module" page, i.e. coding up the domain and a shape to put within it manually

-Then doing the same thing but this time with the ambient object and shapes

Also, should the new user ALWAYS go through chs 1-4 sequentially? As for Jake, he skipped to Ch.4 - Writing your own module, and as such, I think it hurt his intuition and understanding of the code. I think it would be best for everyone to go through the basics of compiling, running, visualization, data files first before writing a module. Else, it could be really unclear what the module's purpose is. .
