CS3 Help is Online with User-added Tips and Comments

This might not seem as sexy as some of the other new features of Adobe's CS3 suite, but the entire help files for all the new applications are now accessible on the web. But the coolest part isn't a continually updated and refined manual that is searchable, it is that you can add your own comments, links and tricks into the help file so that the community can extend the support documents way beyond what the technical writers at Adobe could ever dream of. Every section even has a fixed URL so it's easy to link to specific info, which is great.

Another feature is that you can sign up to get an email as soon as a specific page is updated, but even better: there's also a RSS feed (but the link to the feed only seems to show up once there's a comment on the page.) Also, I'd really like to see an "Updated pages" feed per application.
