I agree. I tried to get my dad to install Lazarus and start to use it (he is a computer science teacher, so I was hoping to get it to the students as well), but the main problem was that there was not a good help system.
I do think that the wiki will have to be gone through to make sure everything is well organised though. It happened a few times that I accidentally stumbled upon an extremely useful page in the wiki and then afterwards I couldn't find it again for a long time. :-( Charl PS English is weird... According to answers.com terrific is defined as: 1. Very good or fine; splendid: *a terrific tennis player.* 2. Awesome; astounding: *drove at a terrific rate of speed.* 3. Causing terror or great fear; terrifying: *a terrific wail.* 4. Very bad or unpleasant; frightful: *a terrific headache.* so, can it mean the opposite of itself? ;-) (I point this out because I knew def 1,2) On 2/20/07, Christian Ulrich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Wikihelp is ready and working have you read my mail ?! We can start now to create an lazarus help in the wiki and generate html from it with wikihelp. > It was XML/HTML based system, not any special format like windowze > "*.hlp" or *nix "man". I have also written an Help browser for my apps was not too mutch work TurbopowerIPRO is there :) It supports also searching and parial matching :) A Fussylogic Search > Do you need something particular, like an especific tutorial or help for > a particular unit or class ? You dont understand me, i work with lazarus for 3 years i know what to do how. But Lazarus helpsystem is terrific. Delphiusers know the very good Delphi help system and i want to have also such a nice help in Lazarus this is why i offer wikihelp to generate html files from the lazarus wiki so we can edit our help comfortable in the wiki and everyone can work on it. And have an html copy of it in the lazarus installations so nobody needs internet acess to just view the help. best regards Christian _________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject archives at http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailarchives
