Please don't do this. It might sound like a nice idea, but it means making a branch that will be very hard to merge back into the help files of the distribution.
I feel misunderstood but it serves me right for not saying what I mean... Synchronizing data is no fun, I agree. While I was up in the clouds I was imaging that the wiki would be the authoritative source for the helpfiles after doing an initial _import_. Then the text version would be exported as needed, e.g. end user runtime update or for a new release.
Please use the wiki for tips. That is an addition to the help files. > For example, I would love to be able to quickly correct spelling > mistakes or contribute to plugin helpfiles a la a Wiki interface.

I just fixed 250 of them, because someone send me a list. That's useful for everyone. The main goal now is to get the Vim tips collection back to live. It has been dead for three months now!
Does the VimOnline team want help? How does one sign up? There are a lot of bugs at the sourceforge site that aren't triaged. Some are misdirected vim-dev@/vim@ posts. -- Ian Tegebo
