Another thing about the help. And i feel bad about saying this, because
I really appreciate the effort that was made. And criticizing it without
having contributed seems all wrong.
Never the mind, since we talk about it, I feel it should be mentioned
thank you very much, martin, for posting that... i have been fighting with
myself for a long while how to approach the topic... many things that are
documented are pretty terse and do not carry easy to understand explanations of
their who, what, why, where, and when aspects... yes, even some "good" book on
programming topics are hard to understand but still... perhaps a step back to
the early days and simpler times is needed? that and maybe someone who
understands geek but doesn't speak geek should be involved to "average joe" the
documentation?
i also hope that this current effort on developing a help system also carries
over to the Lazarus and FPC projects so that they do end up with good offline
documentation that budding programmers can easily understand, follow and learn
from...
