While making the Debian package, I had to do a special hack to compile wine's documentation because it's made seperately.
This isn't a really big deal, but what I did realize is that Wine's documentation doesn't get installed to the help menu now coming standard on systems.
When I select Applications->Help from the menu in Ubuntu, there's a whole list of documentation for available installed applications. I managed to get the install script to copy txt versions of the stuff in the documentation folder to the standard /usr/share/doc/wine, but this place remains bereft of wine documentation.
So, how is this done? I presume there's a freedesktop.org standard for these things, as both Gnome and KDE have them in the same way, but currently we're not converting the documentation sgml files into these help files.
Coincidentally, this might tie in very well to the desktop integration tasks suggested this week. Perhaps we should create a desktop integration tasklist or even append it onto the 1.0 todo?

I think it fits better on the "Fun Projects" page, maybe even near the top of the page. I'll try to find some time this week to add it in.

Nope there isn't, the two desktops have similar but different systems for doing it. For GNOME look for "scrollkeeper".
