Hi  Yousuf

Sounds like a good idea, one of the things that Mint include in its
helper page is a link to the IRC channel, but yeah where and how to
get help is always useful for new users.

I think perhaps it should have a tick box that says show at startup so
the user, can, if they so wish, keep seeing the page.


Regards

Paul
