http://manual.audacityteam.org/index.php?title=Main_PageJust so folks can get an idea of my thoughts on grammar and consistency, I
would make the following changes (and will do so if I can figure out how and
nobody complains!):
About one third of the way down is something that looks vaguely like this
(the asterisks are green squares and nothing is indented; I have indicated
links by surrounding them with an underscore: _link_):

The Manual is divided into several sections. If you're in a hurry, try:
*_Audacity for the Impatient_ Schematic diagram of Audacity with quick links
to the main parts of the interface.
*_Getting Started_ Quick help to get you recording, importing files, editing
and exporting your work in no time.
Otherwise, the Manual contains:
*_Tutorials_ - walk through various common tasks in more detail
*_Using Audacity_ - contains
*_Foundations_ (fundamental concepts of digital audio and editing in
Audacity) and Help with Advanced Issues (read the ones that apply to you as
required)
*_Reference_ - explains every button, tool, menu item and dialog in Audacity
*_Miscellaneous_ - includes an _Index_, _Glossary_ of technical terms used
in the Manual, _Frequently Asked Questions_ and _License_

Note that I've made the first two lines starting with asterisks look more
like the last five lines. Note the consistent use of a colon (:) after
"contains". Note that I have indented (I do not know how to do that on the
wiki) the final three lines.
As an aside, note that when you click on the link "Using Audacity" the
subsection Foundations does not have a line under it (though Reference and
Miscellaneous do) and it has sub-sub sections which are labeled in the same
size font as itself; for consistency it should have a line under it (I
realize that the lines under Reference and Miscellaneous are probably
artifacts) and the sub-sub section titles should be either not bold, a
smaller font or indented.
