Online docs can be probelmatic, especially for free software.
Generally, there is very little to be gained to putting documentation
online, except insignificant diskspace.  Programs like the Gimp and
gnumeric, are the exception, rather then the rule in this regard.
Additionally, versioning is painful.  Imagine I have foo version 1.23
installed, and the newest version available is 1.26.  Should we display
this document (which could be wrong, or even worse, almost correct) or
keep versions 1.23->1.26 online somewhere?  I don't see what this buys
us, and it'll protentially cause us and the user trouble.

Thanks,
