this side it's now feasible to add features (e.g. [[!tails_ticket

After working on a prototype and doing UX testing with NUMA [http://en.numa.paris/](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]].
The result of this can be found in the [NUMA flow](greeter_revamp_UI/NUMA_flow).
We refined this on the *tails-ux* mailing list to arrive at a concrete proposal for the first screen: [[design_rationale_phase1]].

Roadmap
=======
## Phase 1: "Welcome" and "Advanced" screens
### Phase 1.0 [[!tails_ticket 8230]]: basic "Welcome" and "Advanced" screens
### Phase 1.0 tails/tails#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]]
* Implement the chosen proposal in a dedicated branch of the greeter repo tails/tails#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
### Phase 1.1 tails/tails#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
## Phase 2 tails/tails#8231: implement a "Take a tour" wizard
This phase as about adding a wizard to guide newcomers. It has no timing yet.
