IMHO it would be nice if the HelpSys could be changed so that it still provides those Help! links, but the product author can simply assign a URL to them to point to a place where they copied and pasted their docs into a website. That's not too much of an imposition on product authors I think.
This was my first thought but then you have two problems: 1) online docs can be for new version while the user is for various reasons using older version - so the docs would not match either 2) privacy: this is the biggest issue - if someone clicks on the helpsys link (s)he transmits the url of the own ZMI via referrer (in 99% of all cases). This might be ok for zope.org, but I doubt this is ok for anybody elses website where who knows has access to the logs. I fear unless we play some ugly javascript games, there is no real way out of this. Maybe at least the url should be restricted to zope.org.
