Just had time now to flesh out one of Dries's wish lists. It's located here: http://drupal.org/node/133560. Comments and suggestions will be appreciated.
The goal of this enhancement is to further simplify the installation and configuration of a Drupal website. Although the install process has greatly improved in version 5.0, there is still a gap in the process. Right now, after installation, the default website merely displays a Welcome page that contains additional steps to input your basic site information (Site Name, Slogan, Mission, and even a simple footer). This simple feature is available to most of the good standalone web authoring applications.
