http://www.mozilla.org/docs/end-user/getting-started/ might be a better choice :-)

I was thinking about doing a complete book and then publish it under one directory, but then that's going to take forever, so I guess I should split it into multiple directories.


www.mozill.org/docs/end-user/ is too long; "end-user" implies "documentation", so www.mozilla.org/end-user/ is more user-friendly.

Another issue is what happens when Mozilla is finally splitted into standalone clients? Putting Mozilla Firebird info in project/firebird/ is currently acceptable because Firebird is not ready for primetime. But when it is, we'd need a more friendly place for browser user info. We shouldn't reuse end-user/ directory because it would become crowded with files with prefix (or suffix) everywhere.

I do not want to document the standalone clients, and I imagine most d11n contributors to have preferences on what to document, the application suite or the standalone clients. We should think ahead on how end-user doc should be organized. I propose we separate app-suite and standalone-client documentation, making duplicate files if neccessary, in different directories, e.g.

  mozilla.org/mozilla/     for application suite
  mozilla.org/browser/     for browser standalone
  mozilla.org/mail/        for mail & news standalone

or

  mozilla.org/end-user/mozilla/
  mozilla.org/end-user/browser/
  mozilla.org/end-user/mail/

My getting-started guide is ready for check-in, so I hope we can decide on this soon. If you missed the URL, it is http://www.geocities.com/stolenclover/backstage/moz-temp/get-started.pdf
