Has been felt need for examples in the documentation.

not only should these examples be in/on the wiki, but they should also be in the offline local documentation... offline local documentation being the most important (IMhO)...

There exists an examples directory in your Lazarus installation.

While RTL and FCL topics can be demonstrated in simple console applications, LCL topics usually require big sample applications. See how e.g. examples/listview/listview.lpi demonstrates the capabilities of a TListView.

About things like callback functions, which are common to many components, there should exist references to examples that *also* demonstrate such features, amongst possibly many others.

Just an idea: It could help to "tag" the existing examples with keywords, so that a search in the examples directory could reveal all applicable examples. A keywords.txt or <project>.keys file in every subdirectory could be used for tagging, for a global search in the examples. A list of "registered" keywords could be kept in another file, e.g. in examples/tags.txt.
