Hey all,
Was just pointed towards a nifty "progress indicator" in some recently
released docs:
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#referencelibrary/GettingStarted/...
(click the ">" forward button, watch the changes in the top graphic)
Truthfully, it's kind of ugly, IMHO. And I agree with Jay that this
particular implementation isn't terribly intuitive.
Smashing Magazine has a (somewhat dated) roundup of other progress
trackers that seem to look better / be more obvious:

I'm thinking this kind of approach makes sense for our future
"Getting
Started Guide" docs too.
I think it's a nice touch, although personally I'd prefer to see the
overall documentation expanded first. But that's more of a global thing
than just the Getting Started Guide.
