[TYPO3-dev] New pictures for the manual in the help-module. Any hints? Further help is appreciated

[Uschi Renziehausen]

Hi folks,

I am perfectly willing to help with screenshots, but ...

1) Unfortunately this is not a question of simply updating some screenshots because sometimes (I cannot remember where 
right now) the text is referring to the screenshots.
2) In quite a few cases the csh texts are neither helpful to admins/sitedevelopers because they simply state something 
like 'What happens is entirely up to the configuration of your site'. I still remember that this frustrated me a lot 
when I started to learn T3.
3) Currently you can have only a very limited amount of html inside csh, which is bad for readability, and you can not 
place the screenshots into the right context somehow.

There were plans to revamp csh for 4.3, but unfortunately this did not happen yet, because afaik TCEForms needs to be 
revamped first. For what the HCI team thinks please see http://forge.typo3.org/wiki/hci/New_CSH-System.

As revising those csh texts and screenshots is quite a lot of work I would prefer to wait until something has been done 
at least in terms of html inside csh. What do you think?

Have a nice rest of the weekend, Uschi
