Re: [epp-dev] Photon RC1 EPP packages

Wim,

I had another look at this today:

1) lot's of duplicate tips, i.e. I click "next" and I see the same tip again as before
2) default start as dialog is too obtrusive 
3) light bulb remains in status bar after reading last tip

(2) can probably mitigated by setting the default experience to the light bulb. However, the duplicate tips (1) really look bogus. Also the user experience around (3) look bogus. After opening it again it disappeared immediately in the status bar.

Thus, I'm inclined of pulling it out for RC3 and let it bake further. I know it has been added to a couple more packages. 

How do those maintainers feel about it?

(a) - pull it out
(b) - leave in and change default start option to "light bulb"
(c) - leave in and change default start option to "never"

-Gunnar
