Would be nice to have the ability to add pop-up help to sticky notes. Probably best to have the ability to add a different pop-up for each sticky (as they are created). But all I really need is the ability to add a default pop-up for all sticky notes ("You can temporarily drag the sticky notes out of the way to view underlying materials.")

This seems to me to be very specific. You could solve this with an introductory page or even a special sticky note explaining things. Another approach would be to write some lines of javascript, html and css and put this somewhere so it suit your needs.

Right now I'm not convinced why this should be a part of this module, but I'm always open for reasoning :-)

thx. not a big deal, hence the minor priority ... but any change in landscape on any of my pages is usually accompanied by a popup-help (e.g., all the menu items, each of the blocks, etc.). Sticky notes is definitely a change in the landscape of a page and new users (or unsophisticated users) might not think to click and drag the note out of the way when they're reading something (and will probably not see the hide button).

just a useability argument but not a show-stopper.

So you already have a mechanism to display a help popup? How do you do this normally?

"<"PopUp">"help text"<"/PopUp">"
But of course this is a per-instance solution. It would be great to have one solution for all stickys.

Help tips and advanced help injection and export can do this. But my hopes are on this module - it is in more active development!

I don't really get what you want, sorry. The example with <PopUp> is something you put in a template and style it accordingly to look like a popup?
This seems to me like a completely different function to add popup helps to pages. Would be certainely interesting, but I don't see where sticky notes come into this.
