This issue is from Senpai, but discusses some options (including DimitriG's idea) http://drupal.org/node/230059 -Mike On Apr 11, 2008, at 11:26 AM, Larry Garfield wrote:
In Boston, DmitriG and I were talking about install-profile-as- module and he suggested making the modules page into a multi-step form. That is, after you select your new 3 modules, the next page you see is the permissions page for all roles but just for the modules you enabled. That lets you do the initial permission set up immediately, before you get back to the modules page. (You can, of course, still go to the permissions page at any time.) He also suggested letting modules add their own config pages to a form that gets shown immediately after that, which would replace profile configuration. That could also be useful for initial configuration for at least some modules.
