Wiki slash help thingy needed

[Doug Nelson]

Not for me, but I'm looking for a help system (so that it can pop up with F1) that has an Edit option, so that anyone using the app can also edit the help contests. So the users of the app can help write the help for the app.

Ideas?

Is this for an internal network or for online?
I have read good things about this http://www.tikiwiki.org/ but not used it myself

Needs to be an actual program, I think. For a Visual Studio app a friend is writing. He has several traditional help compilers (RoboHelp, etc.), but wants one that will allow the users to contribute content.

Honestly, I've never heard of anything like this (hence my request here), but I have to admit it's an excellent idea.

Only simple way I can think of doing it, would be to have the help files as html, and have the content editable. For example Have the help.html pull it's content from an editable txt file. Users can edit the txt file, thus editing the help file contents.
Although I have Visual studio Pro 2005, I've never really gone in to it in detail. But I know people who use it quite a bit. I'll ask around and see if they have any ideas
