[Sugar-devel] [GSoC 2013] Interested in "Implement help mechanism for activities using Mallard"

[Bastien]

Hi Kalpa,

this is a very nice and much needed project.

Let's wait for Chris to chim in.  My take on this is that help files
should be stored using a plain text format like MarkDown or Org-mode.
It's easier to hack directly, it's easier to read diffs against such
files, it's easier to feed a translator with them, and it can then be
converted into Mallard (for internal browsing), or HTML (for online
documentation) or... anything else.

Storing directly in Mallard would be a mistake IMHO.

2 cents,
