For my own cloud (hosting services) I have written a small, simple tip
of the day pythia.module (pythia was the pristess at Delphi). I can
only release it when we have tested it, and when I have taken out the
hardcoded stuff. Prolly around 4.7 release. 


Anyway heres what it does and what you can do with it:
* It takes an RSS feed per role. Every item in that feed is a tip of
the day (teasers only)
* Every day/login/etc one sees a tip using drupal_set_message().
* once someone clicks on the link "close this tip" the tip dissapears.
* The tip has a read more >> that links to the full article where the
feed item is posted (drupal.org/tips)


So, if you posts tips in a category tips, on a tip per node base, you
can use this module in future.

Hey, I created a couple of book pages a while back based off the
tips/tricks given out in the newsletters:
http://drupal.org/node/35031
http://drupal.org/node/35035
http://drupal.org/node/35033
http://drupal.org/node/35037


But, I'm since decided this is probably a losing proposition since it
would take so much effort to continue.  Plus, it potentially could be
managed better dynamically through RSS feeds or something.  What do you
think?
