They just have to look at http://doc.tryton.org/

This should not be managed in the application because it is not enough.
As SaaS, you must provide a lot more stuffs and the application is
clearly not the right place.
By the way, I'm thinking also about moving out the database management
from the client (and just move it to neso).

So let's make http://doc.tryton.org/ easy.

Yes:

- There is no good way to provide translations. Don't say it was working
  before because it was a crappy hack.
- The application is not the right place for documentation.
- There is already a place for documenation http://doc.tryton.org/
