This looks great, you have done a really nice job.
Sadly, I have no clue about any of this stuff IRL and am having difficulty wrapping my brain around why I would want to get involved with it. As you already identified, I think this is by far your biggest hurdle.
Most of the interface on the website is totaly meaningless to me as I don't understand the terms used. Now, you could just say I should read wikipedia and find out but frankly I don't want to, nor will I, spend a day researching financial jargon before I can start using it.
It may be that you can't dumb it down at all but if you can I would highly recommend doing so because it's far more likley that people will actually use it imo.
I may well be wrong and I'm sure the technicality will be the main draw for some people but I can't see it ever really taking off in it's current form.

I'm aware that persuading people that traded options are "teh sex" is likely to be my biggest hurdle (although some days I think debugging will drive me nuts before then). I'm hopefully doing another round of debugging with Fastlearner Wed/Thurs this week so fingers crossed no further problems. I'll believe it when I see it though.
Here's the first batch of support pages explaining the basics of traded mineral options. It's written with beginners in mind and I've tried to make some pretty complicated ideas as clear as possible, so any comments/questions from beginners would be really helpful.

Just had a quick look through and it looks great.
Will have a proper read when (if) I get time.

Now, I love the idea of having an real-time options market (one of the most intriguing areas of the rl economy imo) and I hope to be able to utilize the Index for any future operations I decide to pursue, but I have one question that has probably been asked before but as I have not read every last word, I find the need to ask.
Once the owner of an option decides to exercise the option on the strike date, how will the number of minerals he has ordered be delivered to the location? I assume that the Index is headquartered in or around Jita, so all of the mineral deliveries will be there, but will it just have to be a necessary evil for those people who need to buy a large quantity of minerals on a later to have the minerals delivered (costing them extra ISK) or just move them themselves (costing extra ISK and needed time).

Exercise of the option is any time before expiry, rather than just at the end date. As far as delivery location, the default location is Jita 4-4. Nothing to stop the contract writer and person exercising it agreeing a different location if that suits them better.
