On 30 Jul 2002, it is alleged that Jon Allen sauntered in to
netscape.public.mozilla.documentation and loudly proclaimed:

If you look thro' the discussion of the previous month or so, you'll see
that a lot of effort has gone into trying to define just what needs to be
done. A lot of /that/ effort has been concentrated on setting up a technote
system that will aid in the development of, um, developer docs.
There are still other tasks that need to be further clarified, such as the
role of docs that are /not/ targetted at developers/OEMs. There's a serious
need to look at that documentation, /especially/ those that are targetted at
[end-]users (of which, of course, Mozilla has none ;-) ); web-dev docs are
kind of between the two.
Organisational issues are still a bit vague, AFAICT, but that's OK; we're
starting to get /some/ sense of just what needs to be done.
What particular interests to do you have? -- that might serve as a place to
begin.

Mozilla end-user questions should be directed to:

Note that you need to have SSL enabled and the port set to 563.
