There only can be a single source for the help so either FPDoc or 
directly managing the Wiki kontent "is great" not both.

If you say so a will not disagree at all.

It dies at least as soon as somebody generates / uses  offline help files.

I talked about showing / seeing my modifications.

I will not ever try to do any modifications unless I am able to see the 
result "life". And I did invest a decent amount of time trying to 
generate offline help from the svn sources and failed multiple times (in 
action with DocView, even trying to find out how this should be done 
with CHM.)

Supposedly I am just too stupid for this task :(
