See http://bitpim.wiki.sourceforge.net/Phones+LG+PM225
For the wiki text, hit "edit this page", then "text editor"

I don't think its worth the trouble to make this change in the
current help. This is easy to do in the wiki. The wiki->BitPim
converter needs to be able to carry over the heirarchy, w/o any
side structures.



Joe,
Hopefully you'll find an easy way to convert native HTML into
a help system. IIRC, you said you'd look at this some this week.

You asked to consider alternatives in the event that the
effort to convert from wiki to BitPim fails. Here is what I
can come up with.

1) keep phone section in wiki only, rest of help in BitPim only
2) invesitigate different wikis
3) punt wiki

IMO, #1 would be the way to go. It
a) provides wiki for most of what the user community would be editing
b) phone stuff is what changes most rapidly anyway
c) is good for users
d) is easy for developers, both now and future

IMO, some users are eager to contribute their phone
experiences ... just need to empower them.

I won't be able to work on this any more until about Friday.

Cheers,
Mark.
