Perfect - is it in CVS? Is it a fork of devhelp (ideally developers
would use the same help browser as users, right?)? Mikael do you think
a GNOME 2 (February) release date is feasible? Can we have something
that builds and mostly works starting now-ish, and go ahead and wire
it up to the gnome-libs stuff?

I agree with that. (And I'd like to go ahead and remove the Nautilus
help stuff if we do this - we can minimize complexity for both
developers and users by doing that.)
