[lazarus] Anyone want to help with documentation?

[subs at nas.co.za]

Yes, I would like to help in this area, when I have the time.

Could a tool be written to create documentation localy, and sync with the
database entries that does not exist and request action on etries that does
?

I only have a internet connection at work, and at my friend for now.
