+I think the welcome centre is a great idea, but I don't see how this 
+Kaptan tool would differ from the Mandriva configuration centre (MCC), 
+long available in Mandriva for easy gui configuration.
+Since Mageia is a fork, we will already have that.  (At least initially.)
+
+As well, there is an easy tool for minor configuration of the Gnome 
+desktop, which I presume has an equivalent under KDE.
+
+Is the idea essentially equivalent to enhancing the MCC for a more 
+complete range of settings to configure ?
