Since we have docs.kde.org, we've considered modifying the help:/ ioslave to 
look online if the doc isn't found locally. We have a pretty good idea how to 
achieve this, but it needs a coder to do the help:/ part (there's also a 
change required on the website, IIRC). This idea has apparently been 
mentioned elsewhere recently, so perhaps its time has come. If 3.5 weren't 
feature frozen, I'd go looking for a coder to try to implement it...

Philip
