SOCIS 2016 - Improving the Help Viewer
Overview
Currently, Scilab uses a fork of an old unmaintained project, javahelp. This is a huge component and relying on it deteriorates maintainability and extensibility. During the summer, I will develop a small and more suitable help viewer that supports better index keywords and search in the documentation. This will first be developed as a standalone Java application and then integrated to Scilab.
