- additional information and story telling should be done through doc tests
For general "what is this / what does it do / how does it work" docs, I like that idea. But it doesn't help with filling out forms in the ZMI. Arguably, forms should be self-documenting, but the nice thing about a "help" link is that it doesn't distract you when you don't need it any more.
I've never met ppl who actually used the HelpSys so that's why I am raising the question about the value of the HelpSys. Lots of my co-workers work with Zope on different levels (scripters, product developers)...I've always pointed them to the Zope Book...the HelpSys was never a topic. -aj
