A brief tutorial that presents the structure of the page and the main tools. Just in the way that you presented the tutorial option.

It is easily extendable (json and Rest) and I can see this being introduced at the tool level and allow for "walkthrough" type help.

>> For a number of years the help tool in Sakai has been recognised as inadequate. A small group of individuals have been working to improve the quality of the help text, but we are hampered in bringing the benefits of this work to the community because of the challenges that the help tool and the help production/distribution process throws at us. It has been identified by a number of institutions that the quality of the help for any system is a key influencer in the decision to adopt. We would love for some developer folks to come and join us at ‘Documentation: Past Lessons and Future Directions’ session at 2:30 on June 11 in Tower 1401. We are a group who can and are documenting the tools that you guys develop, that is our part of the deal. Could you help us work towards a better tool to provide that help?
