TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.

Here's an idea: Embedded help, (integral to the application).
Cheryl Lockett Zubak at WorkWrite (http://www.workwrite.com/)
has written about this (on their home page, expand Help Matters
Webzine to see "Embedded help tour").
For an example of embedded help, see HomeSite (it's in the
version I have (3) but I don't know about later versions).
*Very* nice implementation.
