I guess that is a very old plugin (last updated July 2006):
http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=88

At that time, the tips were on vim.org, and there was a download
of a zip file with the body of each tip (no comments). Nothing
like that is available now.

While a nice idea, the tips are not in a suitable state (too
much obsolete or misguided advice) to be used for a "tip of the
day". What could be done, is that someone might manually work
out which tips are in a reasonable condition, and make a file
with the tip contents. I would far prefer that work went into
cleaning up the tips!
