Hopefully you'll be able to have no serious trouble keeping up the XULRunner docs. Please do have a look at our content and style guide: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/MDN/Contribute/Content
And if you or anyone else helping with XULRunner docs needs help getting going with editing on MDN, our starter guide is here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/MDN/Getting_started Please feel free to ping me any time by email or on IRC if you'd like to talk about it. I've been at this stuff for a long time so I may have useful advice to offer if you need it. -- Eric Shepherd Senior Technical Writer Mozilla <https://www.mozilla.org/> Blog: http://www.bitstampede.com/ Twitter: http://twitter.com/sheppy Check my Availability <https://freebusy.io/esheph...@mozilla.com> _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
