What do you think?
For what it's worth, I'd look at adding another feature that could
pass a keyword to a ultra-stable website which could then link to the
currently available site of relevant information in the language
chosen. For example:
The user is working on a table and presses Ctrl-F1. This takes him
to www.stableOOo.org passing the keywords "table italian". That site
then looks in a database for the address of the Italian table help
page and forwards the user to www.OOohelp.it/table which is the
information needed by the user.
This gives the project one ultra-stable site to hard code into the
applications and if a site changes or goes away it's merely a database
change and everyone in the world can get to the new location
immediately after it's updated.
Considerations? A team to monitor for dead links, gather new ones
and update the database. Bandwidth concerns if any. Single point of
failure which could be eliminated by a backup database site. User
complaints that have nothing to do with the project if they, for
instance, are having DNS problems.
