i think that everyone would appreciate if the system proposes to install:
- all the proprietary drivers your system needs
- all the multimedia codecs necessary to play your films and music (if 
possible)
- some must-have programs related some use cases (e.g. kdenlive, 
libreoffice) of the computer

i'm thinking about propose to install them, not to force someone to 
install them).

if you see my mockup you'll understand that it is related only in a 
minor way to doc, but the important part of it is the fact that it's a 
simple plasmoid that it is by default placed in the desktop. the normal 
documentation is read only by a few people because they think is boring 
and too stressive. this is more simple, it uses the graphics and only 
explains how to use the key-feature of the distro.
