With intent to go live.  Stephen cam up with what we have right now, 
but he hasn't had time to complete it.  I was planning to go back to 
it after release 1.0.0

Possibly, based on how well the wiki is turning out.

>o) Any intent to keep the local help?

Not if it's redundant.

I don't think we have a strategy per se.  It's supposed to be a 
community thing, so I'd leave it to the community to decide.

Not sure what you meant by this.  Are your referring to the Phone 
Help pages?

I'd still prefer to maintain the (offline) User Doc, so we need to 
figure out an efficient way of transferring data back and forth.

Curious as to how the other wiki sites handle this?
