each piece of documentation on mozilla.org and determine what needs to
be updated on my own. I am displeased with the lack of help I have
received in accomplishing this task.
This really sucks. Our documentation is in a complete state, and no-one
has time to do anything about it, and so when helpful people come along
and want to do something, they get no help from those very busy people,
and so they get discouraged and leave, and so our documentation remains
in a complete state, and no-one has time...
Circular, isn't it?
I don't really know what to suggest. I can't magically force people who
already have 110% of their time taken up with hacking to give you help.
But I can say that some people have managed to get good documentation
written in the current environment - see Fabian's DOM documentation as
an example.

Dunno what to suggest here. I think the thing I originally tackled was
too big to handle on my own. Really, updating that page needs a team of
people. One person can't do it by himself. Imran has suggested
something promising. Maybe I can help on moz.zope.org. We'll see. I'll
still stay subscribed to this list for a while and see what develops.
