I don’t intend this quite as snarky as it sounds, but I’d love to see this effort going towards a better admin design rather than bandaids for the current design. Address the cause, not the effect.

Arguably, that’s being covered by CEUX. There was a lot of discussion, early on in the admin help project, about how best to deal with help, including removing it. However, ultimately, where should new users be going if they have questions about how to do something? Google? The Codex? Or their own site? I’m not arguing that we shouldn’t also explore UX solutions to the problem, but I don’t think that’s going to be the only solution, either. From MailChimp to Squarespace to Drupal, almost every other content management system (certainly any other system of note) has some sort of integrated help system in place. We are just trying to make sure the one in WordPress is the best. 🙂
