[Sugar-devel] [Feature] Social Help

[Gonzalo Odiard]

But if the server url can be configured (as in the proposal)
In theory you could Sugar Network too at the server side, right?
We only need define a standard way to provide context, like a parameter for
the bundle_id

Regarding the proposal, I would like to see this more integrated with the
Help view.
Then the changes would be:
* Don't show two entries in the menu, one for the local help and another
for the social help.
First, because in the cases where we have a help for the activity, is a
good idea show
that first, and add a button to go o the server if configured.
* Right now, we show the Help menu only for activities with local Help
available.
We should show the menu always, and if not local help is available go to
social page.

My main concern with this feature is how to solve the change to webkit2
without break
all the webservices. I think we should include the main (and working)
webservices in the sugar code,
port them to webkit2, and then land this feature.
