> helpinject: a module that lets you "inject" advanced help icons into  
> Drupal pages and form elements. Any page and any form element can  
> get context sensitive help. This can either be done for just the

Note, I forgot to shut off comments on the g.d.o post so I'll manually  
route things back and forth to keep the conversation straight. :-/ If  
anyone wants to help with getting the mailing list and g.d.o sync'd  
up, please talk to Moshe or Josh Koenig about how to help. ;-)
