Hi,
some time ago I had an idea to propose something like Plasma initial
setup as
a bachelor thesis to our RedHat system, where students then can pick up
our
ideas and realize them as their theses. Recently I got a student who
would
like to work on this and I would like to know whether it's a good idea
and
something like this would be desired. The initial setup would allow to
configure basic stuff like language, keyboard layout, online accounts
and so
on. What I realized now that we could actually do this for both desktop
and
mobile using Kirigami. What do you think?
I think that sounds great. Of course Johnathan has a point - it overlaps
with distro setup. But distro setup cannot handle new users or users
switching from GNOME ;-)
There are certainly a few things which I would love to have in a first
run "wizard" which we currently don't expose at all. E.g. the location
service based on WIFI - or ideas like collecting user data where we need
them to opt in.
So to me it's something which we absolutely lack at the moment! But
anyway: I think that needs close interaction with VDG (especially
Thomas).
Cheers
Martin
