Hi Kendy,

I can't find any wiki page which explain this project. Does such
web-page exists ? If not, I think such should be created as a reference.

I think this wiki page should explain the rationale of the WikiHelp
project and answer the very important questions that can be found about
it in dev and doc mailing lists:

- what about off-line help? I read somewhere that you want export
WikiHelp to the system help of each platform for which we release LibO.
That's right ?
Many users, perhaps mainly in NLC, developing country or with restricted
access to Internet, consider as a stopper to not have off-line
(installed) localized help.

- what about localization work-flow? How you plan to branch localization
tools to WikiHelp?

- what about QA validation of the on-line help? Help is part of the
software and must QA validated: end-user and system administrator who
install LibO must be able to have confidence in this reference.
With other words: if you find an error in a wiki, you do the
modification yourself. If you find an error in the off-line help, you
file a bug report. It is not the same thing from the point of view of
the end-user.


Kind regards
JBF
