Probably we can start using of this admin side contextual help.

Create custom help messages

If you’re building a site for a client and they have some problems with some parts of the dashboard, a good idea is to provide contextual help to the client.
The following hack will allow you to add a custom help messages for the blog admin. You only have to paste the code into your functions.php file.

function my_admin_help($text, $screen) {
// Check we're only on my Settings page
if (strcmp($screen, MY_PAGEHOOK) == 0 ) {

$text = 'Here is some very useful information to help you use this plugin...';
return $text;
}
// Let the default WP Dashboard help stuff through on other Admin pages
return $text;
}

add_action( 'contextual_help', 'my_admin_help' );
