[Building Sakai] Help needs help: our conference session needs you!

[JOSE MARIANO LUJAN GONZALEZ]

Hi Brian,
I totally agree with this solution! I think a that a great step forward 
for Sakai would be to have a brief tutorial that automatically appears 
when a user logs in for the first time. A brief tutorial that presents 
the structure of the page and the main tools. Just in the way that you 
presented the tutorial option.

nice work!
