--- Comment #2 from Eyal Rozenberg <[email protected]> ---
A tour of the UI would likely be useful for newbies who have not used a similar
app before; and may be useful for people who are switching from a similar app
but with somewhat different UI (e.g. MS Office).

However - for some people, it would be an annoyance. There would need to be
some balancing between noticeability of the option of taking the tour, and ease
of dismissing an offer to take the tour.

Also, like I said in the design meeting - implementing such a thing might be an
interesting "Summer of Code"-style project.


About the contents of the tour: This typically involves...

* Highlighting/emphasizing areas of the UI which are being described at the
moment, and de-emphasizing somewhat the rest of it.

* Tour "tooltips" or other gadget which look distinctly _different_ than the
actual app UI, so that the user doesn't mistake the tour for the app itself.

* Rather than a focus on explicit "Prev/Next" navigation - specific user
_actions_ trigger transitions to the next stop on the tour, i.e. the tour
tracks what the user types, where the mouse pointer is or what has been
clicked, to trigger transitions.
