Problem/Motivation
The frontpage view is the first thing a site builder sees when installing Drupal, and therefore one of the first things the site builder will want to customize. The frontpage view also includes basic and a few intermediate Views configurations, and so is an excellent pedagogical choice for explaining how to use the Views UI.
Proposed resolution
Add a tour explaining how to configure the frontpage view.
Remaining tasks
TBD

lisarex CreditAttribution: lisarex commentedI mentioned the frontpage view in the Toolbar/Frontpage tour #1920468: Write tour integration for the first page after install showing extend and other things and once they click into the Views administration, the Views tour can take over, right? So I'm thinking maybe we don't need this as a separate tour.

larowlan@lisarex yes it will work if you use #1942576: Tour tips to be able to link to other pages and start tour's automatically.
Eg add ?tour=1 to the url so it continues once you get there.
Also, not sure if you realise but you can use tokens in the links eg

clemens.tolboomWe do have a tour for admin/structure/views/view/* #2040369: The Views UI tour is broken.
Is this issue about linking the front page tour to admin/structure/views/view/frontpage
or must there be a dedicated tour for the front page view?
If the first let's add that to #1920468: Write tour integration for the first page after install showing extend and other things
<a href="[site:url]/admin/structure/views/view/frontpage?tour=1">Customize your front page view</a>
If the second? Why write a dedicated tour?

Bojhan CreditAttribution: Bojhan commentedNope, lets not add one for the sake of adding one. We should only have tours, for important user stories. We should instead direct to a toolbar tour.
