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).
