Heh. That doesn't seem so easy to me, from a "new user having
difficulties" perspective.
What I mean is the above isn't one step in thinking. It's:
a) Er... ok, now I'm lost. <-- user figures they need help
b) User needs to know to scroll to page bottom <-- not automatic
c) User scrolls to bottom of page
d) User hunts around for "that help link" then clicks on it
e) User hunts around for what seems like the right description
for what they're trying to do. "deployable? is that it?"
Click on a few things, looking for the right one.
^^^^^^ Remembering, this user is having issues. Low
knowledge level should be assumed here.
f) If the user gets this far, we'll be able to give them the
info they want.
Compare this to:
a) Er... ok, now I'm lost. <-- user figures they need help
b) User clicks link in flash message for more info.
^^^ The link should take them to exactly the right spot
not just some index page, they then need to search
through. ;)
Does that make sense?
