It might be interesting but I have some doubts about it. My experience  
with Apple Guide was not really positive. The main problem was that  
you were only allowed to follow a single track which was too  
restricting. e.g. if you wanted to tweak a setting in a way a bit  
different, or do some additional changes in the middle of the the  
guided process, it wouldn't work.  iirc, Apple Guide would get lost or  
simply refuses it.
If we try to do something like that, we should let the user follow  
multiple tracks or side-tracks in case it wants to. However I'm not  
sure it is worth the complexity, and the time which will have to be  
spent if you want a      a very good guide that is not a toy.

What Apple implemented looked more like a interesting prototype than  
something truly usable and useful. Ultimately I think it is a good  
idea, but I'm not sure it's really easy to do properly and not too  
time-consuming for a small team like us.


Cheers,
Quentin.
