--- Comment #23 from John Mills <jmills59 at yahoo.com> ---
There certainly is some growing momentum for this time "user wizard" which
really would be very beneficial for end users of LibreOffice. As I wrote
previously I would see this having the UI selection, something on light and
dark mode, the fonts is a fantastic idea too and aid in interoperability. This
is sorely what is needed with LibreOffice, in a world where Microsoft has >90%
of the Office space this is a way to draw more users to FLOSS software.

This first-run dialog could also be a way to steer users to where they can find
online help, make donations, join forums and participate in the project. The
key being that every user would see this. It only has to be a few choices that
would be completed in under one minute. This could be the "angle" that
marketers are looking for in a potential version 8.

TDF could sell this as "LibreOffice is the world's most versatile Office suite
and we are empowering our users to create something that works best for them,
something the commercial competitors can't." Or something to that effect, the
key being the user has the choice to customise LibreOffice to their own
expectations.

I can not see how those advocates of FLOSS software do not want to empower
users by presenting to them some of the wonderful features that LibreOffice has
to offer.
