to read the docs in /usr/share/help?
That would depend on the format, I think. A browser for HTML docs, evince
for PDF, or Yelp for DocBook/Mallard.
It would probably be better to have those docs be converted to
something
Yelp
can read and integrated in the Help, at least for GNOME and for
Workstation.
The release notes, like most of the docs written the Docs team, are already
written in DocBook, which Yelp handles just fine. The docs team can also
easily convert them to PDF, HTML (multi-page), HTML (single-page), and even
Markdown (with the latest release of the Publican tool). In short, I don't
think conversion is a problem here -- we simply need to agree on what
format(s) we want, and figure out the new workflow.
