I would be happy to see a HelpBrowser/Seaside solution that does not
require a lot of new content creation. That said, I have to give a
shout out to the Cuis Book as an outstanding example of good writing
and content packaging. You can read the book on line or as a PDF, and
it is a very good piece of work either way.

The project is:
