Hi everyone - at tonights month UK Smalltalk Meetup, we got some nice 
compliments on the state of Pharo (the participants - all ex small talkers - 
although ex in so much as they fondly remembered it and wanted to use it for 
something relevant now because they enjoyed it in the past).

Anyway, one interesting comment stuck out - he had downloaded Pharo (having 
used Visual Age 15+ years ago) and was a bit overwhelmed with what laugher 
presented to him. He didn’t hate it - but was initially a bit lost as to what 
it all meant and how to start… he figured it out, but I thought the feedback 
was interesting and made me think that maybe we need some form of intro wizard 
to get people off to a quick start but leave them confident enough that they 
might come back and try a Pharo 7 or Moose etc.

I encouraged him to post something on here, but thoughtI would note it (as it 
seems quite easy to fix) as an idea while it was fresh in my mind.
