Note that the tutorial is for Firebug (the extension) not Firebug
Lite.

I don't know about any tutorial for Firebug Lite.

Would docs automatically generated from the source help in your case?
Or is reading formatted comments just ok?

Well, if I strip out the XUL files, everything was straight forward for creating a panel in Lite. Some things like menu options did not work though.

Automatically generated docs from code would be great. I suppose I can manage reading the code too. I intend to share what I'm building too at some point.

Thanks,
Jose.

Yep, some API are the same.

We have been generating docs for Firebug source base in the past,
take a look here:
http://getfirebug.com/developer/api/firebug1.7/

But never got any feedback from dev folks so, we stopped it.

That would be great!
Note that you can register on getfirebug.com/wiki and
create a new page describing your experience

Also, we currently don't have anyone who would maintain
Firebug Lite code, would you be interested to join us?

First step could be to move Firebug Lite source base
to github.com...

I told you that the API docs could be useful, Honza.

I don't have time to code, I barely have time for my own projects ouside my work, but I can help with moving to git (which I have experience with) and maybe with time who knows.

Of course it *could* be useful, but I am still not convinced
it's worth of the time/work. But you are welcome to maintain
the site Sebastian..

Simple transfer/copy to GIT is not that big issue.

I think that someone who is interested being involved should start
with examination
of the current directory structure and use the shift to GIT as an
opportunity
to improve it.

Generating the docs doesn't work on my system. If it were just some clicks, I'd do it.
Though I also don't have much time for maintaining anything that goes beyond that.
