Developer Relations

• sheppy has put the remaining developer documentation on www.mozilla.org On Notice, and will be working to get everything else moved to MDC (or removed entirely, as obsolescence demands).
• mfinkle and jresig making good progress on FUEL; shaver and mconnor debating appropriate tree location for it
• wanted: PHP wizard with the patience of a saint to help us get MDC migrated to a new version of Mediawiki, a new version of PHP, a new revision control setup, and a new skin -- all this quarter!
