Hi Andrew,

there are many people trying to make Emacs more user-friendly, and
experimenting with different ways to do that. Most of these attempts
are announced at Sacha's Emacs Weekly News:

  https://sachachua.com/blog/category/emacs-news/
  https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-tangents/

My (own) preferred way to do that is this one:

  http://angg.twu.net/index.html#eev
  https://github.com/edrx/eev#introduction

In eev people can open a kind of an online version of a Reference Card
by typing just M-2 M-j. It opens something that looks like this:

  http://angg.twu.net/eev-intros/find-emacs-keys-intro.html

and it is easy to define new (editable!) help pages.

Also, I think that the best way to get help is the IRC channel:

  https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/EmacsChannel

Cheers,
