 === Inspiration ===
   * https://karthinks.com/software/batteries-included-with-emacs/
+=== Ideas for configs to cover ===
+Might not cover all of them verbally, but should be in supplementary materials.
+  * setting indentation settings. Changing them per-mode. e.g. c-basic-offset variable. tab-width variable. indent-tabs-mode?
+  * custom-file variable? Storing config made through the customizations system in a different file than init.el?
+  * delete-by-moving-to-trash variable
+  * Backup files. I think the default is FILENAME~, which can be annoying.
+  * global-display-line-numbers-mode
+  * sentence-end-double-space variable
+  * Interactions with system clipboard.
+  * winner-mode?
+  * font configuration
+  * colorscheme
+    * Have 2-6 good colorschemes configured by default in the sample config.
+    * Prot's themes have gotten lots of attention recently due to their detail and accessibility:
+      * ef-themes
+      * modus-themes
+      * standard-themes
+=== Ideas for concepts to cover ===
+  * Managing, storing, version controlling, backing up configs and dotfiles?
+    * Maybe out of scope but should at least mention it.
+  * Customization system
+  * Help system, info system, other docs.
+  * Built-in tutorial
+  * Recommended external information resources.
+  * Defining your own keybindings
+  * Installing and configuring packages.
+=== Ideas for packages to cover ===
+  * use-package
+  * which-key
+  * Some search/completion package like Vertico and friends?
+  * magit
+  * org-mode
+  * evil-mode
+  * cua-mode
+  * eglot / LSP stuff (requires installing LSPs separately)
+  * tab-completion (corfu / company)
+  * tree-sitter (requires installing tree-sitter binaries separately)
+  * built-ins: eww, dired, tramp, games
+=== Miscellaneous ideas ===
+  * Mention Wayland stuff in case people have blurriness? Linux users are rare but Ubuntu has Wayland as default so some might face this issue.
+    * solution is to use PGTK build in emacs 29+
+  * Make sure instructions work or at least are likely to work for Windows and macOS.
+    * TODO: Where are Emacs configs stored on Windows?
