Please check the documentation plan and the list of bugs tagged as dev-doc-needed to be sure the stuff you care about is scheduled to be documented.

General Discussion

See http://wiki.mozilla.org/User:MarkFinkle/PushingSVG#SVG_Patches_in_the_Queue
    • Please take a look at the potential "1.9 patches" and think about the possibility of getting them into Gecko 1.9
    • MFinkle will be traveling to Toronto during the Gecko conference call and won't be able to "lobby directly" - notes here or email to evangelism@mozilla.com would be helpful.
