There's a nice short explanation at
http://git.sugarlabs.org/projects/help , which also has its Python
code:
- - - -
The Help activity is a manual for Sugar and the OLPC XO. It currently
opens a gecko instance to a remix of chapters from the Flossmanuals[1]
Sugar[2], XO[3] and activity manuals.

More details and some ideas for the Help activity are at

The help documentation is just HTML pages (from flossmanuals.net,
incorporated into git, and put in the activity bundle), so on some
other desktop "Sugar Help Documentation" could simply launch a local
or remote URL of a suitable start page, and let the user's default
browser open it.  (IMO that's all Sugar should do, but reasonable
people disagree ;-) .)  Presumably on this other desktop the user
would not be running on OLPC hardware, so a remix[4] of chapters from
the Flossmanuals Sugar and activity manuals without the XO hardware
info seems more appropriate.  Sugar Labs might have created this set
of pages this already but I couldn't find it; you could ask on a Sugar
mailing list, if you haven't already.

Hope this helps.
