I am, and use VirginMedia. There uptime in my area has been pretty good
- considering what I am used to in South Africa. I've only had two
outages in a year. In the first case it was for a morning, and the last
one was for an hour.

Uh? I can't annotate any online docs... Also if they did give me access,
why would somebody else want my personal notes? I add annotations to RTL
to explain things better (for myself), list pitfals or gotchas, add
extra code examples etc. Probably things other developers wouldn't find
useful at all, so I wouldn't want those in a public site.

I don't care what Lazarus (as a project) does, but DocView integration
with Lazarus IDE, or any other IDE is very simple to accomplish. There
is even a link to DocView integration documentation included with
Lazarus as standard (Help -> Online Help, read the 'Offline Help'
section). You may not find DocView useful, but many other developers do,
especially considering how bad the wiki help (searching) is, or the
terrible functionality of LHelp.

Anyway, this thread is straying now...
