That's good, but I prefer to refer to a more generalised page with other "Examples

Anyone can pick is preferred...

I meant "Anyone can pick her/his preferred... " :)

The OS X UI guidelines doc is a fantastic read. It concisely sums up many 
modern Engineering Psychology best practices.

Anyone who is designing front-end or back-end screens should be familiar with 
at least the basics.

While there are plenty of OS X-specific guidelines in there, this document is full of great general guidelines that apply to any software application regardless of platform. The Menus, UI Design Basics, and Controls and Views sections are particularly interesting.

End user here - online help has always been a weak spot for OFbiz.

I would suggest putting more effort into making things self-documenting whenever possible. For example, adding descriptive tool tips to what buttons do ("clicking this will process the order and notify the customer") and more action-oriented names for things. Apple has great UI guidelines for making these kinds of things self documenting.
Due to the nature of the projects we (integrators, service providers) support (as eg well explained Michael) that sounds like a great suggestion to me. Would you have a link to "Apple has great UI guidelines"?

Thanks

Hi All

I'm still looking for some community feedback on this proposal and approach
and now I have a couple of extra questions.

To any OFBiz Service providers out there – how do you manage the online help
when you install or implement OFBiz? (Is it left as it is, do you remove it
or do you create some new online help?)

To the general community at large - what is the overall feeling about
extracting the online help, updating it and then packaging it as a separate
project deliverable that can be easily integrated back into OFBiz?

I'm focussing on the approach first. I think that once we have had the
discussion about that and reach a concensus can we start discussions around
the technology and options to achieve it.

Thanks
Sharan
