Yes, absolutely. They are also very friendly. Peter Koenig, the author, let us review the feature table and the Inkscape-related part of the article before publishing it.
Context-sensitive help is one thing where I think they are spot-on. How hard would it be for us to provide "F1 Help"? If only to pop up a browser on a given html page and #anchor.
I'm not sure if they necessarily mean context-sensive help (although that would be nice to have) - something like Gnome has in Yelp would be fine I think, and possibly a Glossary that is part of the "big manual" but has its own menu item (matiphas and I discussed this a tiny bit on IRC).
We were going to ask Cedric and Kevin if they are okay with changing the user manual to accomodate whatever we find suitable for inclusion.
(I'm talking about this user manual here: http://svn.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.cgi/inkscape/user_manual/trunk/ http://www.le-radar.com/?mm/inkscapeEn http://www.angelfire.com/mi/kevincharles/inkscape/index.html )
matiphas has now started a wiki page for discussing this, let's update that: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Embedded_help
Does someone (Bob maybe?) have experience with GTK programs providing help in their Windows versions? For *nix, using docbook and Yelp would be a logical choice, but can we easily create e.g. CHM files for Windows?
