Comment 1

[James Cox]

accepting QA for mozilla developer docs.

some of these bugs have been around for a _long_ time. Reporters, would you
please review the bugs, see if the issues have been resolved, and close bugs
appropriately.

I will do a full review of all bugs not touched in one week (8th April). 

Thanks.

Zach - do you habe a version of this newbie tutorial which you already working
on, or does a new one have to be created?

Comment 3

[Daniel Wang]

no response from reporter -> nothing to "finish"

Comment 4

[Zach Lipton [:zach]]

Sorry for my lapse in responce, what I did have ended up in the great bit bucket in the sky 
after a HD crash. If I ever get the time, I'll try to work on this, but I'll reassign to the default 
owner if anyone else wants to give it a shot first. 

dwx, when in doubt, please comment before you close bugs. Also, WONTFIX means "we 
are not going to fix this because we don't want to," which probably isn't the case for this 
bug. Thanks for triaging and helping out. It's not a big deal.

There is a new Mozilla Starter Guide, published at
http://www.perturb.org/mozilla-starter/

This probably would be a good newbie tutorial.

Regards,

I think this tutorial should be a graphical presentation like the "Welcome to
Windows XP" thing when you install Windows with the option to see it as text-only.


I also wanted to mention that we should definately talk about where to get
Mozilla extensions like the one for alt tooltips mentioned in bug 25537.

Done for TB:  http://www.nidelven-it.no/articles/introduction_to_thunderbird

Comment 13

[Anne (:annevk)]

Should that article be put on mozilla.org?

Comment 14

[fantasai]

That is entirely up to the author. I've noticed that there /are/ translations on
that site, and unfortunately www.mozilla.org is not equipped to handle localized
content.

Reassigning Daniel's www.mozilla.org bugs to default assignee.

I'm guessing this was about a tutorial for Mozilla Suite users. For current Firefox users, there's some introductional docs on first run. If this is wanted for SeaMonkey, please file a bug with them. This bug, targeted at the Mozilla Suite, is WONTFIX.
