Goals

  • Move existing documentation into the proper places in the content hierarchy.
  • Add or update introduction to XPCOM, explaining what it is, what it does, and how it works to newcomers to Mozilla.
  • Improve and add content about wrappers and how they work.
  • Find community members that are interested in and willing to take on trying to get the docs up-to-date
  • Consider/discuss and potentially implement a system for automatic generation of content, or at least for helping to automatically figure out what's missing where.
