I like the icon.

And I was right. I agree with almost everything written in there, but I thought this is a clear case where a user would almost never want the documentation to replace the current page. The user is not visiting a site - Pootle is a web application. The only reason somebody would want to see the documentation is if they are going to continue to use Pootle. A similar case can be seen when editing a page on Wikipedia. Search for "Editing help". This is a page explaining the wiki syntax. I feel this case is comparable. I am a pathological tab user and almost always open things in new tabs instead of just clicking. But I don't want people to "loose the translate thing" just because they were looking for some information. I'd like to hear more opinions. Is this a valid case to open the link in a new window? One more thing: is this page suitable for consumption by Pootle users? http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/toolkit/pofilter_tests Can it explain things a bit better? As soon as this is ready, we might even consider starting to translate this page on the wiki.
