I think too the extensions should be documented somehere inside inkscape itself; perhaps adding a good-old help browser to the program. A way of adding documents to the help as easy as dropping extensions in a directory would be great.
I was thinking in something like the program in the photo. There, the tutorials, the documentation for user extensions and any other stuff can be grouped together; I know the idea is quite old, but still seems good to me. Ignoring the another-dependency problem, it might be done using pygtk and a (quite easy to implement, as I could note) python front-end for the inkscape SVGView widget. (which can also be used to provide a more flexible ui to extensions, previsualization included).
Wow, nice.
Could you tell me how it works. I thinking using Yelp for the User Manual because it can read Docbook and IUM+Tutorials are written so. Should we export to another language. Is there any restriction that may cause use customize our actual XSL stylesheet ?

It's just a program to visualize svg. It builds a content tree using contributor objects, so documentation nodes can be gathered from different sources. The problem I saw with Yelp or any other html based browser was precisely that current Inkscape documentation is written with all the richness of svg that it supports. And the problem I saw with a pure svg browser is that you can't link to other documents, not without support from the svg rendering widget. Of course, let the svg implementation in mozilla be more complete, it could be used, but just try lo load a tutorial on it and see what happens. Then it comes a fast solution, the litle box at the bottom with the links for the in-presentation document.

No, I think there is no need to change the xsl stylesheet, as far as the program just renders svg. It's even possible to move xsl processing to the program.

I haven't noted there is an html version of the tutorials, sorry for missing that . If that's the case, and it's ok to have static png images on it, I can embed a mozilla widget instead of a SVGView one (or have both and let the user to select which one prefers). About Yelp, does it can be used on Windows? Or in a machine with KDE an not Gnome?
