I think people have them because everyone else does. I use them on occasion, but those occasions are generally when I've failed to find what I want using either the navigation/content links or whatever site search is available (before resorting to google). I don't think there's anything wrong with having the sitemap, but it shouldn't be necessary for people to use it to find things. >>> - What should we use for the repository?

Doctor is fine if you can make the changes there and then, but for the mozilla site, you (at least in theory) need a review, so you have to do awkward copy/paste operations from doctor into bugzilla, and it generally ends up being easier to retype the changes rather than attempting to get the patch from bugzilla back into doctor's web form. On the other hand, I don't like wiki either, from what little experience I've had. >>> Let's go! DevMo! >> >> Do we have a schedule for this?

I'd be happy to help, although I fear there may be a lack of contributors that understand the technical stuff well, and I'm not much good in that respect either. -- Michael _______________________________________________ mozilla-documentation mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/mozilla-documentation
