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?

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.

I don't quite understand your description, but I'm assuming if I tried to use it, it would become clear. It seems that for this to work in drupal.org, they would have to install this module. I'm not sure if they would do that.
