I’ve migrated my to-do list for Thunderbird developer docs into the MDC wiki:

The list has been tidied and rearranged a bit as well. Feel free to make changes and use the talk page for suggestions and discussion.

The goal is to get help arranging and optimizing the documentation list so that we have good coverage, so that we can then start documenting this stuff soon.

Time to bring the TB docs up to snuff!

So Thunderbird has kind of gotten the short end of the stick, developer documentation-wise. Admittedly, that’s largely because Firefox is sort of Mozilla’s stand-out product, so it gets all the attention.

I’m starting to work on organizing things to start making what I’m sure will be very gradual progress on Thunderbird developer documentation.

I’ve asked around a bit for information on the most-needed documentation, then took that input and built a very rough outline/to-do list. I’d appreciate any further suggestions anyone might have before I start looking at doing any actual research or writing.

For that matter, if anyone in the know would like to volunteer to write even a rough “engineering doc” style draft of any of the material outlined, I’d be thrilled to help whip it into shape for public consumption.
