*Hello Stephane*

in the user space, this is certainly the best way, and a very good Idea.
The only thing you probably know, is that Odoo is developing a kind of
introduction Step through on each module (kind of a status bar with
tooltips and instructions). There was a mock up I can't find right now. If
I got you right, both concepts should be integrated. This is in your terms
a "contextual introduction", so the "contextual user maintained
documentation" definitifely makes sense and could be a very compelling
completion to the various note fields of the different models.
Now that we talk about the topic, Nhomar proposed a way of documentation of
individual records based on lates web tooltip development. I would be glad
if you would have a look at it, as I'm not capable to investigate this
further, but I can feel, that this would be a good idea. The idea is to
have a "note" field as a magical column field an transform it to a tooltip
(maybe could even go into api one day) a referenc I coul find is:
https://github.com/odoo/odoo/pull/1390 - I read again the conversation on
it, I think it's a hot one!

Hope this 2cts helps! Keep us updated, everyone starves for documentation,
I think.

*Best, *David
