That's indeed a very good idea.. We can have a "tips" translation file in the l10n application indeed.
Now we need a good "standard" way to integrate tips. This means that we should have a small tool in XWiki that allows to find the "tip" translation name that would be integrated for a specific element.
The way I would see it:- the tip system should be very independent from the XWiki UI,i.e. only work in Javascript with divs poping up - you arrive on a page, or flyover an element and tips can be displayed. So this means there could be "page tips" and "element tips". Maybe there can be other types of tips ? - we would have a "hidden cmd key" which then allows to fly over any element and find out the tip translation name to use for this element. This probably means this can only work on elements with a CSS "id" - there could be a mecanism to show all tips available on this page (which shows the button by some surrounding in color)
You should spend some time proposing some generic tip system like that which is "very" independent from the way things are coded

*Idea: Regarding the Help/Tips system* It would be nice to integrate the tips system all around XWiki (have tips when you create pages, adding rights, etc). In this case the content needed would get very fluffy, but the value for the end-user would be great. As a solution to this need I would want something like http://l10n.xwiki.orgbut for help http://tips.xwiki.org/ where users/community could contribute help/tips/steps and internationalize them too. This focused documentation process would have a lower entry level than www.xwiki.org documentation, being very chunked and oriented towards end user. The validation of the tips quality and necessity can be solve by using a rating system for them.
