(I know nothing about the Teen Grid...if there are any changes that should be made to this to acccomodate that, please tell me)
It would be great if there were a slap-you-in-the-face signboard in the middle of New User Orientation Island, Public OI, and Public Help Island that displayed the URL to a wiki Help portal and also dispensed you a Notecard with the URL in it.
