I am working on a "Mozilla Manual" ( see http://mozmanual.mozdev.org ).
I cannot find a direct download link on the homepage. To encourage involvement from others, I recommand you link to the .pdf in a visible place.
The link in http://mozmanual.mozdev.org/source.html is not working. I think you are supposed to put downloads in the download/ directory. To conserve bandwidth, files there will be served by download mirrors. I think mozdev.org has some documentation on this somewhere. If you have trouble, ask in the project owner list.Download link has been corrected (and moved to download directory).
How is the manual licensed? Creative Commons License? Open Publication License?Haven't decided yet. I want to make this available as widely as possible; I'm open to suggestions.
I should have been more clear on this point - this is for *end-users.* It is not intended to address issues of installation, configuration, customization, etc. I've added some clarification on my project home page.This manual is a Introduction to Mozilla features guide for people using Mozilla in the corporate world.
Good resource - I have added a link to this on the mozmanual home page.
Tried similar thing myself. So far I got only http://www.mozilla.org/docs/end-user/guide/get-started.html :-(
Deployment is out of scope for this manual - but I am very much interested in this myself. I'm especially interested in any advice or sources for deploying a "corporate standard" install to hundreds of PCs. I really wish there was a Client Customization Kit for Mozilla 1.5For corporate users, the most important things are probably: 1. Cross platform compatibility <- emphasize this
2. Web Application compatibility. probably way out of scope, but you might want to either have a short FAQ on this or reference one
3. Deployment. covered partially by get-started.html. Feel free to use it :-) And also:
Good idea. I'll look into submitting an article.
3.1 Installer customization
3.2 Default profile and preferences (bug 158384 and http://www.mozilla.org/catalog/end-user/customizing/briefprefs.html)
3.3 AutoConfig: the ability to remotely control certain dynamic prefernces such as proxy servers. (bug 178685 and 222973)
The manual is now in draft 0.4 - all planned sections are complete, and I am now in the process of fine tuning. What I need are people to read what is written and tell me what is or is not clear, what is useful, what is missing, and what I just plain got wrong.
How about announce it in MozillaZine? We don't have too many active documentation contributors around. Maybe you can recruite some? :-)
"Mozilla Manual" is really a project name. My current working title is "Introduction to Mozilla - A Manual for First Time Users" (kind of wordy, but I hope it gets the idea across).
For those of you who know about Kevin Neely's Mozilla Book project ( http://userguide.mozdev.org ) this is *not* the same thing. The Mozilla Manual is intended to be a high level "feature highlights" introduction for corporate users of Mozilla.
Wouldn't Mozilla Getting Started Guide, Introduction to Mozilla, or Mozilla - An Adminstrator Guide be a more appropriate title?
Thanks for the comments and ideas.
