Document Mozilla External String Guide
Project Description
On MDC the Mozilla internal string guide makes reference to a Mozilla external string guide which does not exist at this time.
For any developer looking for information on external strings this is a problem. It is specifically important to those developing Extensions, XULRunner applications, and embedders. At the wiki Mozilla internal string guide the link "here" in the sentence of the first paragraph:
"Extensions, XULRunner applications, and embedders should use the external strings, documented here."
points to nothing.
