For WordPress plugins that don't add their own top-level menu item to the WordPress admin menu it has been notoriously hard to be noticeable after plugin activation. The "Performance Lab" plugin adds a new submenu item "Settings > Performance", but that's obviously hard to find since it's under the existing "Settings" top-level menu item.
One way to point users to the new admin screen would be a WP admin pointer, as suggested in #61 (comment). Another approach would be to link to the screen in the plugins list table, which is also a common area where people look at after activating a plugin.
I suggest we do both of these, this issue is focused on the link in the plugins list table.
