[wp-hackers] GSoC Proposal: Installation System Enhancements

[Justin Shreve]

scrbu:

I see it as part of the overall setup of the blog which is why I thought it
would be a nice feature to include. It would be right after the admin
account is created etc but allows them to setup some additional features
before they finish the install/setup.

Mike:

I thought about this too. A way to bundle in some plugins/themes that
automatically get installed. I think it may be a good feature to include as
part of the project.
