Consider smarter defaults for country/currency #418

Open JustinSainton opened 11 years ago

I wonder if it's time to consider not defaulting to New Zealand for the category? Can we be smarter about what the defaults are here? Checking timezone offset, $wp_locale (I think IP is likely overkill, especially with lack of consistency), and I hesitate to use any HTML5 location checking which would prompt a user for their location. But I do think we can be smarter about it - or at least work on figuring out what country the majority of users live in and default to that one.

Another idea that just hit my head. so lets say a user installs WPEC and activates it.. right after that we could put a "nag" right on the plugins page that will link to a lets say 2 minutes basic setup for WPEC that we can build. i`ve seen lots of support issues and people just forget to setup basic things.

and on basic setup we can prompt users to set some basic and requierd settings for wpec, like location of store, currency, admin emails and maybe other stuff that is a must to setup.

I agree, @misulicus, we need a much better onboarding process. We should do some user-testing around this. I think iThemes Exchange does a decent job of this. Punting to a future release.
