There will be an extension for the manuals, but currently you have to browse 
the files directly to open the manual (or get it from TER).
Also check http://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/extensions/

The manuals will (most likely) not be part of the new extension manager.

The further direction with the manuals is not clear yet, but there will 
(hopefully) be a new module for 6.1.
We might just provide a module with links to the manuals. This works for the 
old .swx manuals, but might not be that good for the reST manuals.
For the reST manuals, we could render them and put them into the extensions 
prior to download.
I would prefer if we could fetch the manuals on demand from 
http://docs.typo3.org/ and store them locally only if needed. Then the user 
could choose between a PDF and a HTML version.

The reason why there is no link the extension manager is, that we do not 
want the user to get used to features that we be removed soon.

Best regards
