Here's a quick sketch of what could be in the top level of a Second Life Help portal:
(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. Could it also be...in Help menu? A Notecard already in your Inventory (& not your inventory Library, newbies won't find it there)?

Where to get additional help--both in-world and on the web
When possible the wiki help should mention applicable in-world tutorials along with a SLURL to the relevant place (like Public Orientation Island or Public Help Island). Since the SLURL won't bring you to the tutorial, & the islands can be crowded, confusing, laggy, & crashy, describe major landmarks near the applicable tutorial so the resident can find it.
