I like that idea very much.
Actually, I discovered DevHelp accidentally when I was trying to build a
GNOME-specific Zeal analogue (since Zeal code base is really hard to work with,
and the application is quite unstable). I've even started development of a
portable C-library to work with docsets.
There is no devdocs.io as well, maybe we can use their data.

I've contacted the Kapeli developer and he thinks it will be great to
support docsets in DevHelp or to have a docset->devhelp2 converter.
However, it's not allowed to silently download docsets from the Kapeli
web site. We can either instruct user to download and install the
docsets himself in a us
I've implemented some very basic docset support on my local machine.
The main problem I've encountered is a significant startup slowdown when
there are huge docsets in the books directory. For example, the Java_SE7
docset has about 50,000 tokens which are loaded into memory by the
DevHelp on start
I've spent some time profiling and it looks like the issue cause is not
the docsets model construction but the tree widget rendering (I can't
say for sure without debug symbols). So I suppose I'll limit the tree
construction to specific token types (like Guide or Package).
Constructing and renderin
I've prepared a pull request:

Unfortunately, it's not so easy to build the devhelp with docset support yet.
The docset functionality is located in another shared library because:
- I started writing it before I found the DevHelp application
- It could be im
