Hi Jason,

The inclusion of on-disk documentation should be up to the user and be
"package-wide". Having a "documentation" package that has the
documentation for all installed applications. The way this would work
(at least in theory) is:
* on instalation of this package
o finds all installed packages
o check for documentation
o download documentation
* on installation of new package(s)
o find newly installed packages
o download new documentation
* on removal of package
o remove install documentation
Being done this way allows the user to choose weather documentation is
installed by default and conserves disk space by only having the
documentation for installed application.This would also eliminate the
need to install a separate package (such as openshot-docs) for
documentation, it would be added automatically.
That's a reasonable amount of infrastructure development in order to
support downloadable, translated docs with the primary goal of
supporting the use case of a user who is not connected to the internet.
Yet, it assumes they do have an internet connection at other times (in
order to download the docs). While it is possible, I tend to think a
more strategic direction is increasingly more web based help with
increasingly less on-disk help.
Cheers,
Kyle
