You bet we'll be working on this! We've got help built into every
application. It's not very advanced at this point...but we consider it to be
quite fundamental to our system. I would really like to take this to a new
level. This is the kind of stuff communities can really do well. I would
love to use applications on my phone and find things like tips that other
people find particularly handy.
