December 26th, 2007 by David TenserThanks to David Baucum, Bo Bayles, and Kev Needham for keeping up the article writing progress — and another thanks to Ehsan Akhgari for currently working on a second article! It’s great to see people from the community helping us making progress with the content.
That said, there are about 26 articles left to be written. Do you know anything about how to upgrade from Firefox 1.5 to 2.0 (just select “Help > Check for Updates…” in the menu)? Yes, we need people to write articles for simple stuff like that, and that particular article might take five minutes to write! It really is that easy to give something back to the Mozilla community and make your work benefit to millions of Firefox users!

Just click on the number link and either assign the bug to you or post a comment in the bug that you plan to write it. If you don’t have a Bugzilla account, just post a comment here and I’ll do the work for you. Then, create an account on SUMO, log in, and click Create an article. Don’t worry if you’re not familiar with the Wiki formatting used — the important thing is that we get the documentation. We can always fix the formatting afterwards.

I thought about writing a few articles and tried to register to SUMO and I think I found two new bugs… at least I couldn’t find them in bugzilla.
It would be nice if you could either confirm or resolve as duplicate them:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=409835 Registration fails when cookies are disabled, misleading error message
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=409833 Registering fails when using certain types of E-Mail addresses
Thanks.

Why do we need an article about the DOM Inspector? It’s not going to ship with Firefox 3…

Shawn, we’re also covering Firefox 2 support, until it reaches EOL. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=398650
