I was thinking about this a bit the last couple times I rebuilt my db
and went through the install process and I think one thing that could
definitely help would be to try and make better use of the new install
page. Right now it tells you what to do, but the process itself is a
little clunky and could be streamlined a bit so that we keep the new
installer on that page and following the flow.
The other big improvement I think would be to modify the 3rd step in
that install page, where you set the site-wide blog, to actually happen
right in that page. So instead of just pointing users to the admin page
I think we should just let them modify the 2 relevant properties
directly from that install page, and ideally with nicer controls. i.e.
a dropdown list for choosing the frontpage weblog and a radio button for
deciding if the frontpage weblog will show site-wide data. This way
it's harder for users to get lost in the process and not do this step.
Good idea. I adapted this for an RFE here:
