Rationale:

 - Right now:

   - These pages' Markdown will be rendered when browsing our
     repository in the GitLab web interface

   - The .md extension is more common nowadays: GitHub, GitLab, and various
     other major players have settled on it. Let's get used to it.

 - If we decide to migrate our blueprints to GitLab (#18079),
   this will be a necessary first step.

+[[!meta title="Revamp the Greeter UI"]]
+
+**Ticket**: [[!tails_ticket 5464 desc="#5464"]]
+
+[[!toc levels=3]]
+
+Rationale
+=========
+
+Tails-greeter works fine, and its code in not that bad anymore, so on
+this side it's now feasible to add features (e.g. [[!tails_ticket
+5421]], [[!tails_ticket 5479]]).
+
+However, the greeter UI is difficult to use, and adding more options
+in the current state of things would only make things worse
+usability-wise.
+
+So, we have to improve the greeter UI to make it more ergonomic and
+easier to use.
+
+Current proposal
+================
+
+After working on a prototype and doing UX testing with NUMA [[http://en.numa.paris/]], we arrived at the idea of having two main Tails-greeter flows:
+
+- a quick setup for veteran users
+- a guided setup for new users
+
+The result of this can be found in the [[NUMA_flow]].
+
+We refined this on the *tails-ux* mailing list to arrive at a concrete proposal for the first screen: [[design_rationale_phase1]].
+
+The wizard is less defined. See the bottom of [[NUMA_flow]].
+
+Roadmap
+=======
+
+## Phase 1: "Welcome" and "Advanced" screens
+
+### Phase 1.0 [[!tails_ticket 8230]]: basic "Welcome" and "Advanced" screens
+
+This means including a redesigned greeter that has the same functionnalities than the current one. It would be included in Tails 3.0, so the plan is to work on that during Tails/Stretch work.
+
+* Implement the chosen proposal in a dedicated branch of the greeter repo [[!tails_ticket 10828]]
+* Update documentation
+* Send software and documentation for translation on tails-l10n
+
+
+### Phase 1.1 [[!tails_ticket 11643]]: add options to "Welcome" and "Advanced" screens
+
+This phase consists of improvement of the 1st phase. It would be added in 3.X releases.
+
+## Phase 2 [[!tails_ticket 8231]]: implement a "Take a tour" wizard
+
+This phase as about adding a wizard to guide newcomers. It has no timing yet.
+
+* design the wizard
