This is just a quick announcement to let all of you know that I've started a project on mozdev.org to fill the much-needed space of end-user documentation.
Did you try the Help? That has a ToC, index, and search.
The help has improved by leaps and bounds of late. When I started tinkering with this, it wasn't nearly as robust as it is now, and i seem to recall whole sections missing. But, that's not really the point. I do not think I am alone when I say that -for good or bad, I don't want to debate this- the help section is one of the last places I turn for information. If it is a direct question, like a "how do I" or "where is," I might go there, but I'd play w/ the options first.
Really, though, I want to produce something that's not quite as dry or matter-of-fact as the help text. Also, the Help doesn't have screen shots! :)
The Netscape 7.0 Guidebook covers most of what you want, though of course there are differences between Netscape and Mozilla. The Guidebook sells for $11.95, and a CD of Netscape is included.
I just discovered this a month or two ago, but haven't had a chance to look at it. Saw that I can get it from netscape.com, but I didn't. Mostly, I'm afraid of being too influenced from it, and turning my style into its own.
Is this available in stores? I think a book w/ a Netscape CD in the back would be great, esp. at $12.
Good luck on your project.
Thanks. The best part is that I've really learned quite a bit about Mozilla in the process and continue to learn about it. Also, when I figure out how to do something I think is cool (like changing the reply header up there after sifting through prefs.js) then I put it in there and make sure I try to index it.
