Both of them have already taken a look at this module. While I do not
know what they will do with it, I've offered it up to Gurpartap in any
way he needs, including making him a maintainer so that he can expand it
to suit his purposes.
I'm not sure what the end result will be; my hope is that it will mean
more of his work will be on organization and placement of help than it
will be on creating new technology for help, but there are a number of
ideas on his list that this module doesn't do. (A centralized help
server, for one). Though there are some theoretical problems with that
idea that concern me.
