Dries recently had this on his short list of Drupal 6 usability items.
Only the first one was on Dries' list, but other profiles might also be core-worthy.
Another thing that would be excellent to do in this process, is to update the handbook pages.
Profiles in the queue:
- Quickstart
- Drublog Single User -- see http://drupal.org/node/144355 for patch
Quickstart
Purpose:
Goals:
- multi-user out of the box -- several roles with different permissions
BorisMann: we need a short description of what the goal of this quickstart profile is. A community site with forums? A static-type brochure site? Please put your thoughts here. The purpose should then be supported by the goals.

This would be the blogger, because the first user is the super-admin, and there is stuff in there that most people won't need.
However, the blogger would also have permission to become user #1, although it will be not recommended to them. - Anonymous
