+"""Simple servlet to store the fact that a user has dismissed a cue card.
+
+Cue cards are small on-page help items that appear when the user has
+done a certain action or is viewing a project that is in a certain
+state.  The cue card give the user a suggestion of what he/she should
+do next.  Cue cards can be dismissed to reduce visual clutter on the
+page once the user has learned the content of the suggestion.  That
+preference is recorded in the User PB, and the same cue card will not
+be presented again to the same user.
+
+Exmple: The logged in user has dismissed the cue card that tells him/her how
+to search for numbers in the issue tracker:
+
+  POST /hosting/cues.do
+    cue_id=search_for_numbers&token=12344354534
