I can't answer all or even most of your questions, but they are the right ones to be asking. Your order of solving the issues makes sense for a plan to go into place, but I think they are orthogonal issues, and will be solved by completely different groups. <br>

<div class="gmail_quote"><div><br>If by writers you mean the Sugar community, I'm willing to help document and streamline things considerably. If you're trying to solve the issue for X deployment or user, I think that it's a bit harder, but mostly the same issue. <br>

Who will bring it up to date and customize it?</blockquote><div> </div></div><div>It is mostly up to date for .82, it's just not complete. It doesn't cover a lot of the activities yet, nor hardly any support issues. The decision needs to be made if the current revision of the text is frozen as far as .82/8.2.0 is concerned or if it will be improved independently of text for .84 and SoaS. <br>

How can it be localized effectively?</blockquote><div>I think that Localization should be happening inside of FlossManuals' toolset.

5. How will people find the Help content, a ? in the activity ring and/or from Browse.</blockquote><div><br>While I live in the browser, chidren, esp those who do not have internet, may not.<br><br>Technical implementation aside, I feel it should be in both locations; Browse/Library and in the Activity ring. Neither is ideal.</div>
