Ok I managed to get the patch out of the closet and dust it off. Here
it is in my fork:

https://github.com/timlinux/Quantum-GIS/tree/welcome-wizard

You can test it by doing:

git remote add timlinux git://github.com/timlinux/Quantum-GIS.git
git fetch timlinux
git branch --track welcome-wizard timlinux/welcome-wizard
git checkout welcome-wizard

The user map page needs to have a separate view made just for the
wizard which excludes all the navigation stuff  (maybe Alessandro can
help with that?) so that the registration page fits more naturally
into the wizard. We can use the same technique to let the user
register with osgeo and do other things like show them news or
whathave you.

Once we have the server side sorted out I will merge to qgis master if
others are happy for me to do so...

Regards

Tim
