Description
I think that perhaps it would be a good idea to start at least to plan how the help system will work in ReactOS and how could be done.
If I'm not mistaken, at the moment only two applications have some documentation: mspaint in English, calculator in English and Italian.
We also know that ReactOS has multi-language support and, for each language, a particular convention has been assumed when naming the RC files. Something similar may be also thought for help files: I'm imaging an 'help' directory and here there will be several sub-directories named in the same way as we have in RC files:
help
+= Neutral
+= en-US
+= it-IT
....
Into a 'Neutral' directory we can place stuff common to all languages, typically bitmaps, while the other sub-directories will keep HTML files, translated according to the language.
This was just a possible idea, but everything is possible, even abandoning HTML Help for something better.
