423867 - Migrate js/src/README.html to developer.mozilla.org

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: JavaScript Engine, defect)

Description

[Jason Orendorff [:jorendorff]]

Much of the information in js/src/README.html is out of date, and much is already on devmo.  The rest (like the JSAPI examples and the file-by-file source walkthrough) should be migrated.  README.html should direct users to devmo.

Already migrated the JSAPI examples to:
  http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/JSAPI_User_Guide
in bug 434532.

I've copied the source walkthrough to:
  http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/SpiderMonkey_Internals

What's left of README.html after that fits on my screen, so we're pretty close here.

All the remaining pieces have now been copied to devmo:

Build instructions, Using the JS API, Additional resources:  All this stuff is prominently linked from http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/SpiderMonkey .

Naming and coding conventions: http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/SpiderMonkey_coding_conventions

Debugging notes:  http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/JSAPI_User_Guide -- the bits about JS_*METER compile-time options went in http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/JSAPI_Reference instead.
