>From just having set up a new Drupal user a week or so back, I can
identify one issue:


Once you've installed Drupal and you're creating your admin account,
Drupal tells you it's going to MAIL you your password.


And of course that's not true; Drupal will SHOW you the password on
your next screen.


But you have no way to know that. So you're in a needless dilemma
before you even get started.


This ought to be fixed. Drupal should tell you what's really going to
happen.


   Cordially,
   J Swami

It would be good to have some full config walkthroughs. You start with a
person who has a very specific goal and from the point of drupal already
installed and the admin account created. Then watch them get to their
specific goals.


There are a number of quite simple topics I am puzzled by, and watching
someone go through what, likely to you, are obvious steps would be
really helpful. And a few different design cases to try to catch what
people may or may not need along the way.
