As pretty much everyone knows, our documentation for events (both
standard DOM events and Gecko-specific ones) is pretty lame. We're
missing a lot of stuff, and what we have is often bad and poorly
organized.

We have a new event reference page:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Mozilla_event_reference

Which embeds the Gecko and DOM event references:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Gecko-Specific_DOM_Events
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/DOM_event_reference

However, neither of these pages are complete, and most of the events
have little or no documentation.

This is obviously important documentation, but has never managed to
drift to the top of the to-do lists of any of the writers.

For that reason, we're now looking for a contractor that we'd pay to
write and clean up this material. The goal is to have complete
documentation of all standard events for the DOM and other open web
APIs, as well as for Gecko-specific and internal events.

If you're interested, or know someone that might be interested, please
let me know!
