To widen improvement of the Help we have moved the Help source folder and toolchain structure to GitHub.
GitHub is a version control repository similar to SourceForge but GitHub enables everyone to participant and add/revise the Help source files.
GitHub is mostly used for code development, so, it is a good place for these source(s). GitHub also provides distributed version control and source code management (SCM) functionality of Git as well as adding its own features.
We are using a free repository that support open-source software projects - Great Cow BASIC is an open-source project.
The access control and collaboration features are key to maintaining the Help system source(s).
Rational
Managing the nearly 380 pages of help can no longer be the responsibility of one person. The community can now add and revise the demonstration source(s).
And, as GitHub has many more user features, like search and copy, the demonstration source(s) can now grow faster.
You can
Word search, search for a specific file, create new demonstration source files, edit an existing demonstration source and take a copy of the latest version of the demonstration source(s) rather than waiting for the next release.
