My wife just started using a freshly-installed Acquia Drupal 7.2.2 site. She's very web savvy, but not familiar with Drupal. Here are some quotes:
(reading) "'Step 1. Start at the beginning. Visit the administration section for a task-based or module-based overview of the options available to configure your website.' Which one do I want? Task-based or module based? Well, I can't do task based, because the link doesn't work! I guess I'll do module-based. Let's see... Acquia Network - do I want to do that? I don't know what any of these things are...."
Me: What do you want to do first?
Her: Change how the site looks!
"The only useful options are the last two! Who wants to start out with administration?"
"Yay!! I'm learning Drupal!"
"How do I find a good theme? Let's see... (typing) ... 'best' 'drupal' 'themes' ... (clicking) ... oh, look, Zen won the best Drupal theme, should I use that?"
"Wow! I'm totally getting the hang of this!"
"Oh my God, I'm a test subject!?!?"
