This document attempts to list every window or Preferences panel related to PSM 2.0, targets for corresponding help buttons, and notes re UI textand other issues. I will also be usinge it to track implementation of eachelement and its help button and context-sensitive help text. Unless otherwise indicated, each row corresponds to a potential help button thatwill bring up relevant help text in the new Mozilla help system.
If a bug number is given under New or Revised UI Text, the bug is themost current record of requested changes. Otherwise, notes are based onthe UI mockups.
