at the moment, during gnowsis installation some things happen and more should happen.

During installation the following things happen:

 * Gnowsis basic is installed
 * all gnowsis packages are installed (even if they are not needed)
 * a wizard helps with the system detection
   * ask the user if the machine name is correct (extract it first from the net). 
   * ask email address. The email address is used to identify many personal resources.
   * ask jabber name. If the user has a jabber name, it is used to identify all concepts, outlook entries, etc. (not the machine name)
   * check all adapters - see if datasources can be made for them
 * the mywikitology is initiated (using the user-identifyer)
 * the search engine starts crawling (with some gui to show progress)

= Gnowsis starts learning =
'''After''' the installation, gnowsis begins filling itself.  The user gets an already preconfigured system instead of an empty one, a better entry point for the user.

== Importing of People ==
Gnowsis asks you for your address book (where is it, did you already have a datasource for it, etc)
 * make or identify the datasource for addressbook
 * create people from addressbook

If you have a flickr account, also do this:
 * ask for your flickr account
 * create people from flickr friends

If you have a foaf-file, you can also integrate it:
 * asks for your foaf file
 * draws some first lines e.g. the people you know, etc. Combines the people from address book with people from foaf file (smushing/identing in PIMO)

== Importing of Projects ==
 * asks if you have a folder that contains many "projects".
 * asks to conntect it to the class pimo:Project and create an ActiveFolder from it.
 * creates pimo:Project instances by looking at subfolders and sub-files.

== Show off ==
Gnowsis then shows you your PIMO and you can start relating people to projects and find your stuff in a better way.
'''Tag, seek and you will find! (gnowsis, 2006)'''

All this would gives the user a first impression of what Gnowsis is all about and help to avoid the alreade known "empty system" problem.
