The goal of Wiki Web Help is to create a help application that is editable by the community. Standard wiki systems are great for many applications. The help application and the wiki is an ideal marriage. The problem with the standard wiki in a help application is that it leaves you jumping around and does not have the smooth flow that we have with a desktop chm type viewer. This project aims to return that smooth flow to your wiki based help application.

Additionally, from a design standpoint, the aim is to keep it lightweight and efficient. The code base is intended to be small. All components and data are loaded on an as needed basis. For example, the index is not loaded until the first time the user clicks the index tab. Also all plugin scripts are not loaded until the first time they are called on a page. Edit scripts are not loaded until you enter edit mode. This type of philosophy reduces bandwidth and server load. The bandwidth reduction is especially important for mobile users. Where ever practical, client side processing is used to reduce server load. Client processing can also reduce bandwidth. An example of this would be the client side wiki markup processing. Raw wiki markup being transfered can be significantly less than the converted html format.
