</I>><i>
</I>><i> Thinking about it, I had the idea of creating a Mageia Welcome Center. What
</I>><i> is this? Basically, when Mageia is installed and user will do his first
</I>><i> login - or when a new user is created and will do your first login, after
</I>><i> loading the desktop environment, a window like the one I drew below will
</I>><i> appear:

</I>><i> <A HREF="http://img831.imageshack.us/img831/925/mageiawelcome.png">http://img831.imageshack.us/img831/925/mageiawelcome.png</A>
</I>><i>
</I>><i> This is a simple idea: this window will show friendly descriptions to
</I>><i> commom tasks besides icons of programs used to perform them. So the user
</I>><i> will associate the program that needs to use the task that needs doing.
</I>><i> When user clicks icon or text, the associated program will be launched.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Of course, future we can disable the icons of programs that are not
</I>><i> installed or provide a way to add more options.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> This certainly is a small and easy-to-do program that can be developed in
</I>><i> minutes and hides a great easter egg ;)
</I>><i>
</I>><i> PS: I have the original SVG if someone is interested.

This is a nice idea
Another moment to give information is when installing. Currently there are
several images for promoting Mandriva (they are available on any mirrors, for
example here :
<<A HREF="ftp://ftp.free.fr/mirrors/ftp.mandriva.com/MandrivaLinux/official/2010.1/i586/install/extra/advertising/">ftp://ftp.free.fr/mirrors/ftp.mandriva.com/MandrivaLinux/official/2010.1/i586/install/extra/advertising/</A>>
)
The time during installation could be used to give first informations so these
images are to be modified. Another point is there are only in English. I don't
know if it's possible to have localised images, i would be nice (but would
take several place, around 2,2 MB).
So i think there is also a need to rework these images so i would be a first
introduction to Mageia.
