Sure. It's just a vision, there is no commitment, just a bit of thought
to augment the probability of future integrity from an interaction
design perspective. :)

New users don't know they exist... we are only opening their eyes.
But of course, it can wait.

Perfect. Is it there any agreed upon list of things on this front?
If not, I can collect some from the list and maybe frequent questions
in reddit, SE and somewhere else...

As before, we will start with the general editor.

Just as a check, do you agree that it is desirable to separate text and options
from the executable code? (sorry if my language is not appropriate,
please correct me as much as needed, I'm not a native English speaker). 

Because I'm trying a way to specify this in an org-mode file and it
would be great if we can modify the wizard particular text and options
without touching the code itself. 

Or maybe having this in a literate file, alternating both text and code (but
not mixed with UI text inside the code).
