Online Help wrapping

[John Sheehan <John Sheehan Sun COM>]

Hi,

Can we revisit a discussion regarding some of the supporting sections
in online help.  This was touched on many months ago, but the 
discussion never concluded.  

The perception of the Gnome core as a consistent unified product is
undone when a user clicks on an app's Help button.  Though the user
typically wants to read just the help, they are also presented with:

     a copyright statement
     a linked GDL license
     a bugs and limitations section
     a list of developers
     a support route for functional bugs
     a list of authors
     a support route for documentation bugs
     a GPL license section
  
Gnome Help will be perceived as a set of stand-alone mini-manuals 
instead of as a unified help scheme.
     
By comparison KDE Help typically just notes the author under the title.

It seems that several sections, such as the developer info and license,
might better belong elsewhere, such as in the About button or in the
source code directory (where indeed they already exist)

Other sections might better be rolled up and accessible from the
Help but not within the main body of the Help itself.
