Comment 147 for bug 676955

If I may add my opinion, I think Astuur's argument has merit. The in-game help feature is a large "bite to chew" for one swallow. As we are doing with seafaring, I think it is a good idea to introduce the feature in its incomplete pre-alpha state to get feedback from the larger community.
I feel that, if we advertise to the public the approach that we are taking with the help system and seafaring features, we should be able to manage their expectations and solicit their involvement in the development of both features.

+1 for including what we can reasonably accomplish as long as we present it/them as a work in progress.
