Uhh this is a good question....let me write what it just came to my mind:

- For external packages (external to PharoCore), they each have packages for
tests, core, blah. Those that have Help pages, then it would be really cool
to have a  separate package for them.
- For each external package, they need to only to put Help pages in a
separate package, but also create a group for them in the Metacello
Configuration. Then, people can choose what to load.
- PharoDev should include the metacello groups that contains the Help.

Now...regarding this example, about the shortcuts...that is related to
PharoCore...So, we have to options:

1) Cotinue commiting them in  'http://www.squeaksource.com/HelpSystem'  and
create a ConfigurationOfPharoHelp that we load for the dev image
2) Commit them into PharoCore and then remove them in #cleanUpForProduction

I am not sure which I like more, but I think 2). Since we have Help already
integrated in the core, the idea is to use it, isn't it ? otherwise this
should be in the dev image.
And I like to have the Help as closer as possible to the real code.
So, I choose for 2), but of course, I am all ears.

Cheers

Mariano
