> The one thing Bill seems to have omitted (perhaps because it's obvious) is that you should have a clear picture of what your audience NEEDS from this help. Who will be using it? How? Under what circumstances (Tail on fire, for example)? What are they trying to accomplish?

Users' needs? Nah, completely unimportant. ;-)

Yeah, didn't think to spell that out.
