Far out and different idea:
Why not make the xulref be an FAQ-O-MATIC, that way, anyone can contribute
entries to it, make comments on the best way to do things, etc... I think
that we would end up with something much more powerful and useful than flat
html pages. If we want to go this route, it's not very hard to setup, and I
bet that we could get someone to install the cgi's on komodo.
Please keep the discussion in n.p.m.documentation, not xpfe.
