I agree wholeheartedly with your suggestions.  I have one more: We
should provide a clickable link to a graphical tutorial on the Emacs
splash screen.

http://stuff.mit.edu/iap/emacs/emacs-slides-1.pdf seems to be a good
one.  It quickly covers the basics such as how to move the cursor.
Then it gets to the useful stuff, such as the kill ring, isearch, etc.

I took a show of hands at my school's LUG meeting today, and only 10%
of the students used Emacs.  Nowadays, too many people use non-Free
IDEs.  Is there any better way to show people the power of Emacs than
a graphical tutorial?

If I submit a patch to implement this link, will it be accepted?
