First problem is I've no idea how to post a patch, and yes I could learn, but so would everyone else that wants to update the docs and it's just one more hurdle to get over (plus I'm a lazy git).
As to the HTML ball, I assume you want to do that to deploy help. I just wonder how many people are referencing local help these days. I for one always go straight to the web site. It might be worth doing some sort of survey to see how important it is. Having said that a method of creating a HTML extract from a wiki would be nice.

I know a few people are working on extracting the docs out of wiki into an HTML ball that we could include. That would solve one of the big drawbacks of wiki (IMO) if we did the same thing. geir > > Regards, > S.
