I was suprised by how many people seemed sympathetic, even private emails, so I shan't give up html help completely.
I'll certainly hand over the maintaining of the help.exe browser and source. As Bernd suggests, we'll split this from the html files. Now I still think someone else might be better for maintaining the html, too. I will be very busy in future, and it is important to keep on top of all the changes to the FreeDOS programs. I haven't been able to do this, so we have a backlog. Maybe the new help.exe maintainer will also administer the html, but we put it into CVS. I would be an additional administrator. What would my main job be? My job would be to create a forum for people to make contributions easily. CVS and html is not easy enough for many people. I will administer a Wiki -- see http://www.pmwiki.org/ -- to which people can contribute their tips, examples, and corrections to the help files. This is something I have wanted to do, but it requires a lot of administration in itself. My main job will be to keep the Wiki tidy and add the changes to the html files. The wiki will serve as an additional resource and forum for our users. Developers would find this an easy way to contribute their help, and in any case users love that sort of thing -- look at Linux forums and these lists! Does all this seem like a good solution? ___________________________________________________________ALL-NEW Yahoo!
