Also, it might be because the Help link depends on the content component, and
the framework is no longer dependent on components
in the applications folder.
Is that true now? I thought there were still some dependencies.
Something that needs serious consideration is a redesign of the help system.
From my perspective, having the help system closely
tied to the content component is a bad idea - because many installations might
not use the content component. In addition,
framework-only installations don't use any of the components in the
applications folder.
I think we all agree on that, still some work ahead it seems...
I don't know that we all agree on that... in fact isn't the idea backwards? In
other words shouldn't we move parts (not all) of the content component to the
framework instead of removing dependencies on it?
In the original help system, help text was pulled in from a URL that
could be configured. There was no dependency on the content component. I
still prefer that approach, because a deployment can point to any source
of help.
