Yep, thanks.

I am going towards putting most of the documentation in the online help
(ie bzr help commit), generating some web content from this and also
eventually writing GUIs to access it.  Anything else like manpages or
HTML is too hard to integrate well on all platforms.

I did it this way after an unscientific user test showed it would work
better, but if you've tried it and have trouble let me know.

I spoke to people I already know personally.  I don't know any python
core hackers.  If someone does, and wants to suggest it, that would be
great.  Otherwise I think I'll wait until it's a bit more ready.

I think so.
