Hi,

Wouldn't it be nice to have the complete manual available from inside
Blender?

* Access from the full manual from the help menu (by opening a browser)
* Access to the new digital Tutorial Guide that the DocBoard group is
talking
  about.
* Access to specific manual entries from tooltips or a 'helpmode' for
the user
  interface: click on the 'help' icon, the cursor changes into a
question mark,
  click on a control and get information about it.
* Automatic update mechanism that downloads only the changed sections of
the
  manual either at Blender startup or when the user selects 'update
manual'.

If someone could do the client coding, I'd be more than happy to think
about the server side requirements for this!

Bart
