Sorry, my mistake, I wanted to say "last month".
And yes, it's in cauldron. It will come also in Mageia 6 as update, but after the last settings.
I would advocate for a mission statement and overall description of M, maybe even a little background or history as the first tab.
The aim of Mageia Welcome is that user doesn't miss steps that are of great importance. He already chose to install Mageia, thus, I think it is not the moment to tell a story.
how to contribute/donate could be a second tab.
This is in the "More information tab.
If you proceed from the general to the more specific nitty-gritty, it might allow all the newbies to get a handle on the 'bigger' picture.
The ones who are already familiar and more savvy could skip through the introductory parts.
Eliminate the 'more info' tab; each tab should unscroll to reveal what it covers.
Less is more. Be very tight and focused.
To be focused, we choose to have only one topic by tab. The remaining is in the last tab.
M will benefit more by being more straight-forward and open-handed than the competition. Lay all your cards on the table upfront and make it clear that M is accessible and intuitive, and offers more customisable options than micro$oft and apple. Grow your user base and the volunteers will help with development and documentation.
These are some of my off the cuff remarks: I apologise for being presumptive and arrogant in my somewhat overblown suggestions.
Don't worry, I prefer what you say than that you stay quite
