This issue already exists with a different name (and a little different functionality ) - the so called "TABA" tutorial. the problem with your suggestion is how to run a tool tip over a pdf documents (or are you suggesting in the site display? if so where do those term appear?)
I'm not sure this is a tutorial - I'm taking about simple tooltips added on top of complex terms and acronyms we display on the plans list after a gush is clicked on our site. If it is handled by the tutorial this may be a dupe but I'm talking about something constant and non-obtrusive that will just help people understand what they are reading as they go.
Artistic illustration attached.
very artistic... Good Idea, evil regex. will look into this
great idea. @alonisser / @shevron do u want to handle or will i take this?
I would rather stay focused on server stuff for now.
BTW do you think this should have a server component? I'm thinking the matching should be done on client side and based on a static list of patterns, or as you put it, "serverless, bitches" ;-) On Jan 23, 2014 1:05 PM, "Nir Yariv" notifications@github.com wrote:

totally client side IMHO. basically a list of regexps/strings and their annotation text. assigning to self.
done
Would be a nice and helpful feature if we could highlight & explain, via a tooltip, technical terms and acronyms frequently appearing on plan essence. We can create such a list and do a work (most likely in the front-end, that's why I'm creating the issue here) to match those terms and attach a tooltip with human-friendly information. Some terms I've encountered (list can be expanded over time) are:
There are of course others. Also note that matching some of the terms might not be trivial as they appear in various forms
