As you are suggesting a kind of wikipedia like help system, I would make it just that. Host the help files on your website by means of a wikipedia-like script. User can update/correct the help files on your website.
In this case I would keep the help files seperate from your application. Refer to the online help files from your application.

Traditionally this is done by creating hlp files or now the newer CHM files. Being a single developer I do not have a whole department to write the help files for the user. I have done help for previous applications but I find it terribly cumbersome. I had an idea based on websites I've seen to provide a simple help file for the user and then let the user expand on the help file when they get stuck with certain situations. Does anyone have any suggestions about how to tackle this issue of putting a help system in a programme?
