I mean web based help in meaning base _source_ for other help compilations - not _only_ web help. > IMHO it would be better to only provide one Help - only .hlp or only .chm > but not both. I share this opinion. > We need a Help which cannot be changed by users. > It will always be essential to have an "official" Help, included > in the distribution, which is only by Bruce and is basically the > reference to the syntax and usage of all commands, functions, etc. Of course Bruce still would be main author of the help. I mean only users in role as correctors, sometimes examples suppliers. I send personally few help corrections to this group, but if it will be possibility to correct this minor bugs by myself, then I would do it. Of course all corrections and additions can be veriffied and accepted or rejected by other users - it is an idea in which wiki works. I like this. The advantage of central help system co-developed with _real_ users, give chance to easy expand and add, an example, mentioned non-Bruce plugins docs by their authors. > If you mean that you are going to create and maintain a wikipedia yourself, > that's fine. That is a lot of work you are volunteering for. > If you mean that somebody else should create one for you, I disagree. I don't known that is it possible to maintain wiki data as an open source for compiling standalone versions of hlp/chm/pdf/html files, but I think that it will be feasible (maybe with little additional work on conversion application) - not by me, because I haven't any coding/maintaining expierience with wiki (except mading few corrections to definitions in wikipedia in my native language), but I found this idea very attractive in general. And surely I would be made some correction work on that help texts, because I'm help's frequent user. I don't demand nor expect any action from others: this was only my expression of kind of general idea, not declaration either practical solution.
