Documentation / Help system

[sliptonic]

Now that the move of the source code to git is essentially complete, I'm starting to look at the wiki. The github wiki isn't any stronger than the old one so a better solution is needed for end-user documentation.

As an end-user I'd like to see a 'Help' menu with the traditional items of 'About' and 'Manual' under it.

Ideally, the 'manual' would pull up some kind of viewer that is either reading local documentation or, better yet, html from the web.

Before we spend any effort migrating content from the old wiki, can we think through how these things should work?

I will continue to document what I do on
http://opensourcedesigntools.blogspot.com/ and maybe with the right
tagging, some of it could be of use for overall documentation later
on.

I am just starting to use the Heeks Suite and I would like to see better docs as well. I will try to document what I am doing and post it here and on acemonstertoys.org
