Re: How about updating help and context sensitive

Documentation is already integrated with the code, but it is documentation for programmers. User documentation on top of that would just clutter up the source files, I think, since user help isn't necessarily directly related to the various functions that are in the source. The underlying design of the program would start to leak into the user help and just confuse the user.

What is really needed is an easy way for non-programmers to create help files. Something on the order of KBabel (KDE's translator app) for help files. That way the programmers can concentrate on coding, ordinary people can have a nice way to contribute, and KDE gets up-to-date and useful help files!
