+Initial Setup
+=============
+Initial Setup is an application that can run during the first start
+of a newly installed computer and makes it possible to configure the
+computer according to better serve the needs of the user.

"according to better"...looks like you changed ideas in the middle of the sentence.

+
+As most os the configuration options are already present during the

os -> of

+OS installation in Anaconda, Initial Setup mainly host options that

host -> manages OR hosts

+can need to be presented during the first start, such as displaying the
+EULA on RHEL. Initial Setup is also often used to create a user
+as many systems are often automatically installed with kickstart
+and the user is only expected to create their own user account.

I actually don't understand sentence above.

+
+Still, while Initial Setup normally indeed does not have many options

You should omit "indeed" above.

+available, if the firstboot --recofing kickstart command is provided
+during the installation, Initial Setup will provide all configuration
+options available. This is usually used for the so called OEM installation

"so called" should probably be skipped here. Its secondary meaning,
"used to express one's view that a name or term is inappropriate" has nearly
become it's primary meaning.

+where an OEM installs the computer, which is then shipped to the end user
+which uses Initial Setup for the final configuration according to their
+need.
+

Skip "according to their need" or change "need" to "needs".

+Architecture
+============
+Initial Setup is basically just a thin wrapper for running spokes from Anaconda.
+Still, it has its own Hub, one spoke (the EULA spoke) and a translation domain ("initial-setup").
+
+As with Anaconda, Initial Setup has both a GUI and TUI version and the package is split
+to a core and GUI & TUI sub packages.
+
+As Initial Setup needs to run during the early boot, it is started by a systemd unit
+configured to start before the normal login screen. On RHEL7 Initial Setup is by default
+followed by the legacy Firstboot utility, which hosts the Subscription Manager plugin.
+If the given OS instance uses the Gnome 3 desktop environment Firstboot is followed by
+the Gnome Initial Setup, that enables the user to customize their computer even more.
+On Fedora Initial Setup is followed directly by GIS, provided Gnome 3 is installed.
+
+* RHEL7: IS -> Firstboot -> [GIS]
+* Fedora: IS -> [GIS]
+
+Addons
+======
+Just as Anaconda, also Initial Setup can be used to host third party addons - flexible

Try: "Like Anaconda, Initial Setup can be used..."

+yet powerful modules that can configure the system based on data in kickstart
+while presenting a nice UI to the user. Addons can have a GUI, TUI or can be even

Skip "even" or put it before the be as "even be".

+headless, working only with data in their kickstart section or from other sources.

+============
+* Initial Setup is released under GPLv2+
+* upstream source code repository is on Fedorahosted: https://git.fedorahosted.org/git/initial-setup.git
+* for patch review Initial Setup uses the Anaconda Patches mailing list: https://lists.fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-patches
