I have tested the new OFBIz webhelp for the last 3 weeks and migrated
some help we already have (for projectmgr)

On a end user perspective, webhelp is clearly an enhancement, because
search and glossary (and better presentation) help to find the correct
information more quickly.
On a help writer perspective, docbook file structure is easier to
understand that dataresource - content - contentAssoc - ...

There are still some minors problems, but in each case I have found
(with Tom help sometime) how to solve it.

I'm waiting a first release is publish to trunk to send jira with these
enhancements.

User Help is one of the software quality criteria and webhelp will help
ofbiz community to have better one.
Tools is not everything, but it's a good step to motivate the community
to contribute in this area.
