It's been suggested that we add some help pages to the pump.io Web interface.

I'm not sure it's needed. It's a really, really simple Web interface.

Even better if it is simple. You can explain simple things much more effective, and there are certainly people that would like it a lot.

Despite of being simple or intuitive, I think that a "tour" just after you create an account and a "help" link in the web interface would be very useful. I attach this "pump starter" diagram posted some time ago by @aether (http://212.110.187.68/aether) pump_starter HPH

what about having a help layer that explains stuff while hovering over certain areas? it could be toggled on and of via a "help" icon the first 10 times you login. And after that it just disappears, only showing up again if you activate it in your preferences?
