My area of expertise is not programming, so I can hardly propose what a
programmer may find useful to configure. I can only propose what I
-personally- find useful (and that list is already done).
And I believe this is true for many in the Emacs community; don't we
value Emacs incredible plasticity and ability to be adapted to each
person's way of thinking and doing?
That's why I proposed a *process* to do it: we can all add our voices (all
that are interested, at least) and go forward together because we agreed
on how to do so.

If we do this, we may make a list and then we will stop going forward to
discuss how to filter and prioritize. If we agreed on a process, then
it's all forward steps until the end of the proposed process (of course
anyone can stop and complain at any point, but the probability is
smaller and the rest still can go on while we see what happens).
Up to now we were unable to do it in the usual way. I only bring another
proposal to proceed which is not mine at all, and has been used with
success in many other communities.
In brief:
- We want to flatten a bit the learning wall for newcomers and
make emacs more desirable for them, showing in can be not only
powerful, but usable from the start and beautiful too.
- We agreed that a "wizard" (set of linear steps with clear options on
each one) is positive to achieve that objective.
- There is a proposal for a process to get a generally agreed list of
variables to include in this wizard.
- if you find this proposal inadequate please tell me so and I'll just
add my personal variables and wait. I have no particular problem with
that.
- But if you see no particular problem now with the proposed steps, I
beg you to consider the possibility of giving it a try, going forward
all together. In this case, I will start it in a separate thread and
make the work to integrate everything as proposed. I will only ask
about some details regarding tools to use for collaboration (and this
could be done to the list or with a few people that can help this
Emacs newbie in order not to make noise in the list).
In each -and any- way, thanks a lot for your kind attention and
understanding.
Best regards...
