[maemo-developers] hildon-help in fremantle?

[From: Till Harbaum / Lists]

Hi,

may someone please explain to me how entirely removing any help system
helps simplifying the device usage? 

The outcome of this is obvious: All applications (incl. my own) just won't have 
any help system on fremantle. Or do you really expect the develpers to write
a custom help system for their apps? And where would be the advantage of
this? We'd end up with a bunch of completely different help systems which 
neither makes things simpler nor more usable. 

So is the fremantle way really to not have any built-in help system? What else
do you propose? Some online help?

So there is no standardised way for help options and it is up to every application, which actually needs the help functionality, how to integrate it in the UI.
