[Sigia-l] Elements of Documentation

[Donna Marie Fritzsche]

>About dynamic messages, I once designed a help system where each 
>form element >had a help button with no content or minimal content 
>in it (asking programmers >to create the help button was easy, 
>asking them to create the content wasn't). >Clicking on help would 
>popup a window with the help text for that form field >*editable 
>right there*. Then, when testing the system internally, we 
>had >someone go through the entire system and write nice help 
>messages. Even better, >we left the editing messages in, and the 
>client themselves started adding help >messages.

Select content-authoring in context - that's a great idea.
