I think it would be amazing to have a way to link to a community-maintained wiki from the applications. That is, a help-key press launches the browser and takes the user to the maemo.org wiki page associated with that app.

Maemo devices are supposed to be always-online devices, this would be directly in line with that belief, and also the link to the wiki would be in-line with the open-source belief.

I've said it before and I'll say it again; put your content online (in the wiki) and give us a chance to edit it for a while before you publish it. You'll see; it will work!

The added benefit of putting it in the wiki ahead of time to let the community edit it for you is that you can then just use that online content as your online help (see above).
