Hello. Since Matt and I worked with the install process we thought that we could suggets ways to help in areas we found problems...
For those who are computer challenged…..
-The first few screens should talk about Fedora (what it is and who it would benefit), because the only time we really get an idea is at the end.
- Cheat Sheet or manual on the install process or even an overall one on the operating system. We realize it may be hard to include all these ideas throughout the install process so a cheat sheet could fill in here.
-Specify between the two types of available installs
-Specify the differences between i386 and x86_64 on http://fedoraproject.org/en/get-fedora-all
-Throughout the install process recommend certain routes people should take with certain computers or for depending on how much they want to use fedora.
Hope these ideas may be able to help out a little,
Matt Bocchi and Sahar Arbab
I was going to post this idea to the list today!! I think because the install process won't take that long, so i thought that it might be better if we explained the basics of using fedora. How are programs installed , what's a repo, what's a desktop environment ... etc

I've even made a fast mockup to help understand the idea http://taljurf.fedorapeople.org/Scratch/fedora%20installation.jpg

This is a great idea but I think that if people are going through the install process they are already kinda sold on the idea and there are other places we can present it (maybe a .pdf on the desktop that is a quick start guide) Could we use this idea to advertise areas where people could contribute? We could take say Marketing, Ambassadors, Docs, Design, and $somethingElseNontechnical and have section proclaiming that you don't have to be a programmer to contribute to Fedora.
