I like the idea.

I like the idea. For delivery I prefer to see all of the help documents available online at the web site or wiki as HTML files. When users submit tips we update the appropriate help file DocBook source. The respective HTML file gets regenerated nightly and becomes an updated live web page within 24 hours.

That way we keep our help files current and treat them as living documents. By doing that we keep the information contained to a single source and don't have to duplicate our efforts.

With all of the help files in DocBook format, we can revise certain files into smaller bite size files, which then can be sourced into other DocBook files to form a complete document.
