Great!
I'm waiting for such a person for many months. Seems to be xmas is near.

There is already a lot of help material for freepascal. See www.freepascal.org and lookout for the newest version. They have updated many documents in the last few weeks.

The missing part is of course the help system (I prefer an online help system) and the docs for the LCL and the IDE. I think the Delphi help is a good example. (Kylix help is a bad one).

Has anyone an idea how the online help system should work?
html, remote control the default browser, devhelp, own help system ...?
