But having all the documentation linkable in a single CHM, not
necessarily by default, would be of benefit to non-newbies though.
I accept that the indexing issues within MS's CHM is pretty poor. Maybe
it is worth taking a serious look at using a PHP +GTK app? Not the best
idea, maybe.
I think though, when the livedocs system goes live, it should include
ALL PHP documentation (PHP, PEAR, PECL, Zend) and allow the option to
have it ALL searched. Rather than have all these different manuals.
The livedocs display engine is supposed to take on this role, but apparantely, we need quite some hands for testing, daily using, tweaking, bugfixing and improving on that engine. I bet you will find noone on earth to create a PHP-GTK based help browser for the PHP docs, especially given that CHM viewers are available for all major platforms. Livedocs however would be much more optimal for DocBook based documentation, so it has quite some advantages over CHM (the possibility of dynamic, on demand TOC creation for example, with only those extensions you really use).
