[TYPO3-hci] Install Tool

[Kasper Skårhøj]

I think we can start right away on the install tool! However, I don't  
think we will make it for 4.1 but the work we can begin NOW is to  
write a story board of the a) guided process of first-time  
installation and b) the following "configuration" screen (possibly  
with a tree structure to encapsulate options).

Does this approach make sense?

How can we use the wiki to storyboard something that is partly  
graphical?
