I would be delighted! Our documentation is an area we are not doing
great on, and someone like you helping out is just the thing we need!

The wiki is mostly from times before we had support.mozilla.org (SUMO).
There are also some articles on kb.mozillazine.org, this site is a third
party resource though.

I think the best way forward is to use SUMO for all articles that
explain things to the user, MDN [1] for all articles and information of
use for developers, and the wiki for more temporary pieces of work, like
feature planning and design stuff.

Creating new articles on SUMO is easy, all you need to do is sign up for
an account, then you can start creating articles. Before they are
published they need to be reviewed, but this happens automatically by
the reviewers (which I believe I am a part of).

Unfortunately there is no "subirectory" specific to calendar articles in
SUMO, but the convention is to prefix all pages specific to Lightning
with "calendar-" and all pages specific to Thunderbird with "thunderbird-".

Once we have the page migrated to SUMO, you can change the wiki page
(also, simply sign up/in to the wiki and start editing the page) to
redirect to the new page on SUMO.

If you have further questions or would like to chat, feel free to either
email me, or visit me on irc.mozilla.org. I hang out in the channel
#calendar and my nickname is Fallen.

Great to have you on board!
