647098 - SpiderMonkey information is horribly out of date on www.m.o

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(www.mozilla.org :: General, defect)

Description

[Wesley W. Garland]

The information on this server for SpiderMonkey is several years out of date.

Can we get it updated?  (I'm volunteering if somebody can steer me in the right direction)

 - LXR README link waaay out of date, in hg this file is just a link to http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/SpiderMonkey
 - Embedding tutorial is for old API (and should probably be on devmo)
 - Embedder's reference links out of date
 - LXR searchable source code link points at ancient tree
 - Should probably not mention JavaScript 2.0
 - "Scripting Resources" link points to a page that is so old that it points to developer.netscape.com instead of devmo

also needs sweeping changes, bug 628723 comment 0 has some of the details.

The site is in SVN at <http://viewvc.svn.mozilla.org/vc/projects/mozilla.org/trunk/> / <http://svn.mozilla.org/projects/mozilla.org/trunk/>. Probably most of this should live on MDC instead.

To follow up on comment #2, I think it makes the most sense to migrate any of this content worth updating to developer.mozilla.org or wiki.mozilla.org or archive it so people don't find it and get confused.  There's a bug open for that at bug 459308.

It doesn't make sense to spread this content out over three different sites (I've found Javascript docs also on MDN and the wiki).  And updating content on www.mozilla.org is much less straight-forward than the wiki-based other sites.
