We should listen to Torsten but as far as I would expect, only HelpSystem, but it is already included in both PharoCore and Squeak.
The help system is included in Squeak trunk and Pharo core, so one should be able to load the three example books (Squeak, Pharo, Metacello) which I uploaded in squeksource/HelpSystem in both environments. Still they are just small demo books - no real docu since there is not much content yet.
I have pulled the Metacello-Help package over to the metacello repository and have added to a baseline for 1.0-beta.27... but it should have more content...
However - we could reuse them to document these systems if for instance Dale is willing to contribute stuff to the Metacello book or we create an ASCII version of the Metacello preview PBE chapter.
Mariano is actually doing all of the heavy lifting on the PBE chapter:)
Maybe I am dreaming too much, but it would be cool to export somehow some chapters to HelpSystem. Is there a way to export from Latex to ASCII ? even more, how difficult could be to code a plugin (or whatever name is) to automatically generate the nice code for HelpSystem from Latex code?
Then we can include PBE in the image also ;)
This would be very cool! It seems that there is a place for online (pdf..) documentation, but the online and in-image documentation really needs to stay in synch! Dale
