The point being to have less duplicate information.

I am updating the wiki and the homepage accordingly.

I am loathe to leave the "what packages are available" lines but I believe
people who are interested in such things are likely to end up at the source
root so it is appropriate.

Homebrew
========
Features and usage are [summarized on the homepage][homepage].
Quick Install to /usr/local
---------------------------
[This script][gist] will prompt for confirmation before it does anything:
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/gist/323731)"
Afterwards, [install Xcode][xcode].
Umm… I thought I could install it anywhere?
-------------------------------------------
Indeed, you can. Refer to our [complete installation instructions][install].
Dude! Just give me a one-liner!
-------------------------------
Okay then, but please note this installs Homebrew as root and
[we recommend against that][sudo].
curl -LsSf https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/tarball/master | sudo /usr/bin/tar xvz -C/usr/local --strip 1
But what packages are available?
--------------------------------
Before installing you can
[browse the Formula folder on GitHub][browse-formulae].
After installing, you can use `brew search` to find packages or `brew server`
to browse packages off of a local web server.
Features, usage and installation instructions are [summarized on the homepage][home].
What Packages Are Available?
