'browser' is most likely one of the most universal words in our society. I haven't checked years of background information, so feel free to blame if somehow this was discussed/approached in the past. To be short and objective... when I installed my system, I ended up by bringing up Firefox. I took a minute to look at it and I got a Firefox beta promo page and openSUSE.org tab. Both ways.... this 2 pages for me (most likely for a lot of people out there) do not require much interaction from the user and force him to go to the preferences and change home page. Anyway we could add like 'Ubuntu' does a search engine (like the evil one) on the start page and some cool links like:
* openSUSE > the generic page that exists already on another tab. * openSUSE Forums > kinda interesting and somehow a more human thing for new comers. * (Online) Documentation > Documentation sites. * openSUSE Ambassadors > I think this one is _IMPORTANT_. High visibility.
If the browser initial page is useful... example: very used search engine. Many won't change it, just by lazyness and because it serves them... and we keep high visibility with our users.

Last time I proposed something like that I got insulted. But I'm all for it to change the default if someone comes up with a nice start page.
Aww don't let Basil's occasional grumpiness put you off :-) I was wondering what had happened to this idea... it sort of died off. I think it'd be a good idea to do something like this too... especially if there is a revenue agreement in place. that money could be used to fund openSUSE events, a developer... whatever. Those who hate it with a passion (see the previous discussion) can change it with a click or two.
