<div>Now since we already have a Downloads page in <a

the apps in Extras, why not add a proper wiki for them too. This could
be optional, of course. But I would see this as a good way of having
consistent documentation for apps in Extras.</div>

<div>While we are on the subject of a home page for each app, let me
bring up the donate button again. This would be an easy and consistent
place to put it. Again, this would be optional.</div>

<div>What do you think? Could this work or am I completely misguided

It is good to assume the least when users go to the help facility of an
app.<br>
For example, it is good to not assume that you have network connectivity<br>
when the user needs help. I would include at least a minimal help page<br>
that resides on the device. Perhaps even in the app code.<br>
