[DUG] Delphi 2006 and 2007 - Accredo etc

[Tim Jarvis]

Well actually I think that you both have a point.
Oh and remember that there already is a Delphi Wiki out there in
internet land (http://delphi.wikia.com/) 
JED is quite right, you pay premium dollars for a product like Delphi,
it should indeed have a complete and functional help system, its to our
shame and embarrassment that our help is currently in the state it is,
it's a high priority for us that it's fixed and it will be.
It is however only to be noted that a Wiki has the potential to be an
incredible resource, Wikipedia apparently is now regarded as a better
resource than Britannica or World Book, so I reckon a Delphi Wiki has
the potential to be better than anything we could do...so it makes sense
for us to be major contributors to a Delphi Wiki, and we will turn our
attention to that no doubt, but first things first, we have a product to
get out the door and a help system to fix.
Cheers Tim.

When you buy a product from a company do you expect to have to write
the help files for said product as well?

The argument is that people pay serious $$$ for these products. Why
should they also have to write the help files for them. The "loyal"
users tag eventually wears thin.
