wiki links dead

[bryanwb]

You guys are probably already aware of this, but many of the links on
the API page are no longer valid here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Jetpack

Can anyone refer to some lower-level code docs so I can get a better
sense of the API?

thanks

Bryan,

I've just come on board as the documentation manager for the Jet Pack project. Many of the links that are there are for projects that either haven't been developed or haven't reached a development level where having their API published makes sense, so that may be part of the problem. However, if you can point me to specific examples where this isn't the case, then I'd appreciate knowing where they are as I'd like to track down those links and make sure the ones that are to live content actually  are pointing to that content.

Thanks Kurt,

I don't know which parts of the API have been implemented bar aren't on
the wiki as I have just started playing w/ Jetpack

On the UI page
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Jetpack/UI

Toolbar, Panel, tabs, Statusbar, Notifications , Window are all dead
links

all of the links on the System, Multimedia, Storage, Meta, Extenders,
are dead

The dead links are all redirected eventually to the main MDC page. This
is a very slow process which can lead to much frustration

I think the first step should be to remove the hyperlinks from those
pages with a "not yet implemented" annotation

Bryan,

Yup, those are the future interface stubs - good; it meant that there weren't some oddball links that had become unfactored.

I'll go in with an indicator this afternoon and fix it.

That is the way wikis are expanded, as kurt said they're stubs. As a
rule of thumb, when you see a red link in an wiki about API
documentation, it means that it's a stub and in the future an article
about that will be made.

The strange thing is that when you click on one of those dead links
you're being redirected to the MDC homepage, in Wikimedia when you
click on a red link you are redirected to a page proposing you to
create the non existing entry. I suppose is not the same on dekiwiki,
at least when you're not logged into MDC (if you're logged, it behaves
as Wikimedia).

Still no docs...

Docs are on their way; looking to have content up today and tomorrow.
