What steps should I follow to port that from Squeak? You can see a screenshot below, and are invited to write more tips, like keyboard shortcuts and anything you think is useful.

+1 i like these bits. They greatly helping people to enter a new domain.
Its interesting, somehow to do it a context-sensitive.
So, depending on a focused window (i.e. browser, workspace, debugger
and so on), it could
choost a tip for given context, like:
'did you know that to find a class by name in browser you can do ... '
and, if you currently in debugger, it could show a tips related to
debugger, like:
'did you know that in debugger you can type or select one of the
method's expression and then inspect or evaluate
in the context of current method... '

Yes!! I was thinking of the same kind of things. We could use help from someone who knows morphic better on how to detect things like

- which window you are working
- what you are doing ;)
- what menu items / tools you use most.
- any intresting thing you could think

Javier.
