1) the help patches are not easily searcheable and 2) you can only
search for objects that are on your computer, but what if you search for
an object that has a certain feature and is maybe in a library that you
don't have yet.
3) pd patches cannot have meta information. it is more difficult to
script into them and get information out of them than it is from
websites. 4) history showed, that almost noone ever changed a helppatch
and reposted it to the repository. at least not the majority of users,
with a web based solution this will be much easier.
5) you can have links, images, videos, better structure in wikipedia
than in pd. - you can not have the interaction feeling you have in pd,
though. therefore the help patches will be the first reference.
