Larry -- thanks for taking this on. This has been needed for some time. Hopefully we can still get this into 4.7 under the guise of usability. On 24-Sep-05, at 8:59 PM, Larry Garfield wrote:
Last night there was a discussion in #drupal regarding the help system, and the need for an overhaul therein. Dries asked me to send a note to this list with what was discussed and the thoughts on where to go with it. This is a developer, documenter, and translator issue, so input from all three parties is welcome.

I guess we would ship a database-help-en.sql file? Cheers, -- Boris Mann http://www.bmannconsulting.com
