I agree completely. Pointing to the ChandlerFAQ on the wiki is only intended as a temporary placeholder in alpha4 and certainly needs to be replaced with the beginnings of real Help and other end-user documents by the time we get to 0.7. IMHO.

As an aside, I think this is fine short term but won't serve us well when we do ship localized releases since users will want the FAQ / Help to be in their native languages. Wiki is also not really the best place for localized content since it is decentralized from the rest of the Chandler i18n framework. Each localized FAQ would have to be manually kept in sync when the English FAQ changes. For the long term, I would like to propose shipping Help documentation with the release. It serves i18n better and also meets the use case where Chandler is off-line but help is needed. -Brian Pieter Hartsook wrote: > At this point in time, I would favor "Chandler FAQ".
