>From duped Bug 397469:
This came up during an extended VDG discussion yesterday.
We have avoided first-run wizards in Plasmashell for a variety of good reasons,
but yesterday I and several others were able to come to agreement on the idea
of a first-run wizard to tailor the system better to the user's physical needs,
asking questions such as:
- "Are you left or right-handed?"
- "Are you red-green colorblind, or totally colorblind?"
- "Which text is more readable for you" [then we present images of text within
a window at 9, 10, 11, and 12 pt, and the answer determines the default font
size]
- "What is your primary language?"
-- And then a follow-up question: "What does your keyboard look like?" [then we
present a visual assortment of keyboard layouts based on the user's answer to
the language question, so they can select the right keyboard for their locale
and hardware]
Basically the idea is that we *only* ask questions that the user is guaranteed
to know the answer to because it's very personal to them. We don't ask what
panel layout or animation style they want because those are questions that only
technical experts can answer. But everyone knows whether they're right or left
handed, how well they can see, etc.
It will require discipline to keep inappropriate questions out of the wizard,
but I volunteer to crack that whip. :)
