hi,

Not sure if this off topic or not but just had an inspiration for an  
online help solution while responding to a tender.
If every plone site had a help folder that contained content with a  
special field for matching urls. Say a regular expression. So then  
content creators could provide their own help pages for any screen  
like ".*login_form" would match any login form screen. Then have a  
global viewlet that puts links to help content available for that  
page. Put that viewlet in a consistent location.
If such a system existed we might be able to ship parts of the user  
manual as online help linked to relevant pages. Idea might need  
refinement to handle upgrades of that standard help however.

If others like the idea I'll put it as a plip? Are there other such  
online help proposals out there?

Dylan.
