Interesting idea. So it becomes less "here's the reference manual" and more
"here's a how-to for a given scenario". I can see that working.
One of my two big ambitions for Potlatch 1.0 is online help; the other one
is newbie-friendly tagging. Both of these are going to have to wait for the
AS3 rewrite, I think, because AS3's UI components are just streets ahead of
anything available in AS1/Ming - it'll take away 50% of the work required.
But I wonder whether a good interim solution might be for Potlatch to
trigger the JS pop-up panel (as used for the map key, search results, export
etc.) when you clicked "Help" - which would then call up a set of static
help pages.
cheers
Richard
