OK. So yet another probably good idea made near invisible by lack of explanations and examples. To quote a prominent tweeter - "Sad"

tim Rowledge; tim@rowledge.org; http://www.rowledge.org/tim Managing programmers is like herding cats.
How would a simple example look like?
- the code and
- the explanation
to include in the the Help System?
Good idea. And a small update to the class comment would easily resolve the confusion. I do not know the background, but the method stamps show that Romain Robbes is the author, and SqueakMap shows that Romain did quite a few externally maintained projects:

The class comment currently says this:
I define services and categories: - The world menu category (identifier: world), where services and categories can be put to be displayed in the world menu. - The preferencesMenu category, where services about services and preferences can be put - th open menu
So an update might look something like this (but I do not know if I have this right, so please help):
I define services and categories to enable applications to provide a customized world menu: - The world menu category (identifier: world), where services and categories can be put to be displayed in the world menu. - The preferencesMenu category, where services about services and preferences can be put - the open menu
And if someone could provide an example code snippet to add to the comment or to a class side method in WorldMenuProvider, that would be great.
