Hello all,
It's good to see the idea of an ICS Help File gaining momentum. I'm indebted
to Francois for the number of years that I have used his components and
would love to give something back. It will be a long-term project and
keeping up the momentum I suspect will be the problem.
Hello,
Personnaly I like the actual Help and FAQ html documents available
from Overbyte's web site, they just need to be improved with some
missing methods/properties/events explanations and samples and could
be linked into single .CHM
Wiki has a big problem : you must be connected

Not completely true about nullification :)
Let's say there would be a really up-to-date version of the documentation
Just MySQL and PHP. And probably the best place for a ICS/Midware wiki is

I have this hosted site that it is currently not being used for
*anything*. I will be glad to donate some (most?) of this space to
host the ICS

found the time, so I have 10GB of space, which I pay for yearly, just
wasting
I think a wiki is a great idea! I have started one myself and it's quite
easy to setup. The wiki that powers wikiepdia et c is probably the best.
http://www.mediawiki.org/ is the place to go.

Hello:
Well, as one of those who started a documentation effort a few times
in the past and was unable to continue, I am very wary about suggesting
another one. However, I do agree that of all the other methods we have
tried in the past (html faq, windows help file, etc.), a Wiki is
If DZ-Jay is offering hosting, then I can maybe do the Windows HTML help
importer, which will take the exported wiki data and build a html source
from it. I don't know the effort to do that but I'm willing to look at
it if you like. Anyway it highly depends on the wiki system of choice
for ICS

MediaWiki is good for me also.
No problemo, I will install a test here and if you are willing to make
this effort then I will look at the format of the exported XML files and
the format for CHM and try to estimate how long would it take to
implement it. Anyway there is no hurry because the

This is a remarkable coincidence :) Just yesterday I mailed private this

It create CHM files from source and looks to me very promising.
This is by far my preferred way of generating help, from comments in the
source modules themselves, then you always know the properties and
methods are 100% reliable. But it will increase the size of the source
files
Hello,
I for instance hate to read source code with such included
comments, of course this is a question taste.
To try the thing I made a help file of one of my components and I
decided to keep the commented *.pas file for the help separate from the
original *.pas file. So I agree with you
Question is if a helpfile is needed or the Wiki is good enough? Almost
everyone is online now... As long as there is one good source to get info a
helpfile isn't really necessary...

Yeah, a wiki is up to date, it realy doesn't need to be converted to a
help file in
A help system rendered as a searchable indexed CHM is the developer
_BEST_ friend!
As I can estimate, it's not a hard thing to compile it from the exported
wiki data.
As for the sourcecode comments, I can only say, if you wish to do it
then it's ok, do it but it is not a replacement for a real

I've no real idea what a 'wiki' is.
However to generate an empty framework/skeleton it will
probably be necessary to use such a tool and
