Hints

This new module allows the admin to provide such hints, tutorials or documentation in the backend. Another use case is a team of collaborators who have to coordinate their work and need a place to insert additional information about what has been done...

The module does not produce any frontend output. In the backend there is
a text area (or a wysiwyg editor) where users with the privpilege to
modify the content one can insert some text. html tags are allowed,
newlines are converted to html line breaks. For users with the privilege
to see the content, it is displayed in the backend.
The module supports assigning the privilege to modify and/or view the
content based on groups. Each section is assigned to an owner. Members
of the administrator group have special privileges. If they have
permissions on the Hints module they can do everything the owner can do
and also change the ownership.
Each user can choose in the preferences how he would like to edit the
content in general, and also for each single section.

the standard mode (basically the same as it was in the past)
the hint floating up to the top of the backend, and depending on the WB version / backend theme it is displayed somewhere above the regular sections or even above, next to the menu bar
A popup hint which the user has to close explicitly (like everybody knows from the usual cookie hints on many web pages) - the user can either close it permanently for his current session by clicking the cross, or he clicks anywhere outside of the hint which closes it, but it will reappear the next time he loads that page
bottom hint: basically the same, but shown in a kind of status bar at the bottom of the page
