Attachment: Patch to explain the situation. Neds a better solution though.

Comment 2

[Chris Ilias [:cilias]]

According to <http://groups.google.com/group/netscape.public.mozilla.xpfe/msg/39ec27028dce764d>, the new newsgroup is mozilla.dev.tech.xul, so I think you can just change the link.
However, that's not my decision. I could be wrong.

Comment 3

[Nickolay_Ponomarev]

The whole xpfe/ hierarchy is rather outdated currently. The hope is to migrate the still useful documents to MDC and get rid of the rest.

Comment 4

[David Boswell]

This content has recently been archived.  If this needs to be migrated back to
a production site, I'd recommend posting it on QMO or MDC.  Closing as wontfix.
