Currently I deliver in various formats (Webhelp, .chm, java help (Yes, I know, don't go there!) to the developers for integration into the application. I am considering the possibility of hosting the helpsets, probably as Webhelp on a dedicated domain. The idea being that the user will click on the help in the application and launch the help that we are hosting here. My IT people tell me that is easy enough, so long as we provide a dedicated ID in the application that points to the correct helpset.
