If I am not mistaken ( and I often am ) use of the XHP format files will 
allow us to call up these help files in the standard way F1, no need for 
special buttons.

Not going this route, of using XHP and integrating into the help system, 
could be done for sure and might even be faster - in this case then use 
we would need special buttons or menu items.

FYI - I have added a couple of new pages to the wiki - one of interest 
to all might be 
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/OOOForum_posts_and_associated_databases

A couple of other things -
I have not heard much about a scenario for the database, does anyone 
have any ideas on this or comments on what I have proposed so far. 
Without any feed back I will just start down the road of working one of 
them, but would hate to have the group decide on a different one after I 
begin.

If you look at the new wiki page I listed above it should become clear 
why I mentioned the three businesses I did on the real world scenario 
page. Using an existing database to begin work any one of those types of 
businesses could be used. Each would offer a broad coverage to 
techinques and issues I believe.

Let me know what you think...sooner is better then later...
