On 20 Aug 2002, it is alleged that Minh Truong sauntered in to 
netscape.public.mozilla.documentation and loudly proclaimed:

Hey, get into the boat with the rest of us, 'k? :-P  Site organisation 
sucks, NG naming convention sucks, the Mozilla splash screen blows -- what 
else is new? ;-)

The 1.0 FAQs were developed specifically for the 1.0 release.  In 
recognition of the fact that Mozilla had been getting increasing media 
attention as things progressed to that release, it was decided (and Gerv got 
stuck with the s/Job/job/ of wrangling everyone) to deviate from the 
standard start page and give people a place from which to begin. . . .

But see the thread Mitchell started yesterday for a bit of detail on what's 
going on.  If you're a bit more brave, venture back for a couple months to 
get a better idea of just what has -- and hasn't -- happened in re. d11n.

And I'm thinking it's time finally to start doing something with this 
ridiculous amount of material I've managed to collect over the past couple 
months so that maybe there /will/ be some useful/usable end-user d11n on 
m.o.  What the hell, the worst that happens is Jayesh ends up hosting it on 
MozTips or some such. . . .
