I see the program as complementing the existing help centre by providing a location to find all of the documentation produced by the teams in formats such as pdfs odt and odps etc . > If it is to replace or complement it, maybe we could reuse or extend > existing infrastructure. I had not considered extending yelp however I think that the existing infrastructure in yelp does not provide the functionality that would be needed to create a library of files. I think that it would be easier create a separate program.
