Yes, sure, I'm not concerned about getting the help from the wiki to  
the integrated help from time to time. I'm just saying that it won't  
help with translations and isn't necessarily generating better docs.

But it doesn't sound anymore like you want to have the help in the  
wiki exclusively. So I guess we are in the same boat now: keep the  
main help in the distribution (if possible, as gettext), accompanied  
by online help in the wiki, and tranfer the online help to the  
integrated help from time to time. Is this something anyone could  
agree with?
