-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 ST> (excluding help - I really do not have any idea how long would it ST> take and we are still looking for writer). This is clearly a problem and one that will bemore greater as time passes; each change to the program renders the help more and more out of date.
You (RitLabs) seem have trouble finding a writer and when you do s/he's going to have to have time to know the product well enough to write about it. The thing is you are awash with people that (a) know a fair bit about the product and (b) are keen to see it progress, that is the Beta Testers. Other prodcuts have had help files compiled by groups of users why not this one? You would, of course, need to do a bit of work to start with. You would, for example, want to set up - say in MS Word - templates for styles and things that your group of volunteer authors could use to produce consistant work. You'd have to provide an /in/ to the relevant programmer to answer specific questions from the authors to cover/clarify points that the user has insufficient knowledge on and your have to set up some mechanism for receipt and compilation of the help file from its constituant parts. However, I imagine that all of this would amount to much less work than writing the help file yourselves. Once the file's been written I imagine that there would be no shortage of volunteers for translation duties.
