I've never met ppl who actually used the HelpSys so that's why I am

developers)...I've always pointed them to the Zope Book...the HelpSys
was never a topic.
I most commonly use the HurtSys for DateTime's api, and some of the
idnexing apis. That said, I also agree it should die if something nicer
comes along ;-)
I use it a lot, and like Chris, for the DateTime stuff, but also for
looking up how to manage properties, etc. It is/was a big help for me
(more so than the zope book, at least when I was learning Zope) when
learning stuff and looking up things.
One difference I perceive (YMMV) between the Zope book and the Online
help is that the online help is more of a renference than the Zope book.
I think my point is that it is an added value if there is an online help
available that does not require a live connection to the internet every
time you need to look something up.
So +1 on killing the current helpsystem and +1 on replacing it with
something nicer :-)
Sincerely,
