GuidedTour is up on piramido again, with the latest getting started tour. Now that the i18n jqueryMsg support is in core, it should be in for good this time.
I also put up the latest version of the Special:GettingStarted page (mostly Munaf's work, but with some JS I wrote), with everything except for the images. Be sure to click on the question marks. In *addition* to guided tours, GuidedTour can also be used for single-page tooltips like this.
To test:
1. Go to http://piramido.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:GettingStarted . 2. Click "List of Google Stuff". This will register it as a "task". 3. Go to http://piramido.wmflabs.org/wiki/List_of_Google_Stuff?tour=gettingstarted (this step will be made easier once the gettingstarted tour is finalized and we decide whether to use querystring or cookie here). 4. Go through the tour (wording is not final).
Let me know what you think.
Thanks,
Matt Flaschen

Awesome work Matt! For next steps, I am going to leave some comments on the Trello card (https://trello.com/c/dLZMKvAz). [For new members of the list: our team uses a publicly-viewable Trello board to track our work.]
Quick thoughts...
- The tooltips don't quite point closely to the Edit, Preview, and Save buttons in Chrome. - I should have also thought a little deeper about exactly how the tour end should work -- right now clicking the rather large "close" button completely ends the tour, even if I follow instructions and take the appropriate action. I can easily imagine users closing a tour tooltip before they take the next action, so perhaps the "clicking Close always completely ends the tour" was not such a great idea. I'll file a bug with more detail about the solution I am precisely looking for. - We definitely need to address https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43642, in concert with the above.

Thanks! I look forward to reviewing them.

There's already a bug for this (https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43723). I agree we need to give it some thought.

I should be able to do this (click outside to close) tomorrow.

I've commented with my thoughts and added Munaf to CC, as it would be good to get his opinion as well.

piramido now has fixes for both those issues:
* Has the initial solution for distinguishing between hiding and ending a tour (see https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43723 and https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44123). * Adds close to click outside (now fully working).
The big review for the end tour/hide behavior (which is open) is https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/44752/ . Some subparts (e.g. close to click outside) are fully reviewed.

I found that I could see the tooltip, but the Edit/Save/Preview buttons were not visible in the area displayed by the browser, and I had to scroll down to see what the tooltip was pointing to. Had I not already known those buttons were down there I would have found this confusing. -Chris
