Talk:Thunderbird:Help Documentation:Base

Just wondering why we don't use the "Using Mail" section of the Mozilla programs help as the basis for Thunderbird's documentation? --Roan

why not Mozillla docs? well...

Basically, the docs are overly large, make things more complicated than they should be, and don't fit well with the idea of "keep it simple" that Firefox and (to a lesser degree) Thunderbird have.--Waldo 06:28, 20 Jan 2005 (PST)

using Mozilla docs as base for Thunderbird docs

I like the "keep it simple" philosophy, and I should have said base Thunderbird's help files on the Mozilla Suites help files. I think having something for people to use and work from may incourage more help. To that end, I have created a help extention for Thunderbird (This is the only place I've announced this extension).

If announced to the general Thunderbird user base, would this extension hurt or help this documentation project?--Roan 10:35, 20 Jan 2005 (PST)
