Bart,

I like that idea! I am not sure if any of you have used any of macromedia's 
products such as MX but it is VERY integrated...maybe Blender should not go 
quite THAT far but it would be nice to also have an option maybe to "take a 
Blender tour". This could open up a window where the interface is 
informative but interactive (hover over or click on a button and it would 
give you an indepth discription of that button...basically information 
extracted from the manual itself). Another idea is closer to that used by 
Macromedia....a simple project would be generated before the users eyes 
(preferably a biginner project similar to the quick start available on the 
official Blender 2.0 guide...something short and sweet) This would be very 
beneficial for beginners. Just an idea.

Cheers,
Landis
