Metacello Help book in Pharo-Dev

>The problem is that we have 25 pages of metacello explanation before that >blog (which will be added to the book chapter).

Hi Stef,

I do not mean to add the blog contents! His latest blog post shows
a Pharo help book that is available as monticello documentation:

See this screenshot:

and I ask if it would make sense to add it to Pharo-dev
by default or if one only gets it if he knows about Metacello
and how to load this book.

Since it includes the API-Doc I think this would mean to
include Metacello too into Pharo-dev...

Bye
T.

Re: Metacello Help book in Pharo-Dev

As a suggestion,
i think that we could have an API for getting a documentation on a
per-package basis.

It could be accessible like following:
System menu -> Help browser

in help browser you having a special 'getting extra documentation'
which autobuilds entries by collecting all implementors of
'documentationPackage' (or something like that)

so user can see a tree like following:

Getting extra docs
Metacello
Smethocello
etc...

and when user clicks on it, it either loads it automatically, or
contains an instructions how to load it.
