Description
Now that QML is an integral part of app development with Qt, I think we need documentation for JavaScript core classes. Since all QML bindings are essentially ECMAScript, we really need to get the class documentation for basic JavaScript stuff like String, Array, Math etc. Now, we only have the documentation for QML, but if a developer coming from the C++ world has little to no experience with JavaScript, it's a hassle to read external documentation while writing QML.
MDC ( https://developer.mozilla.org/en/JavaScript/Reference ) has an excellent reference, and having our own reference so that we can integrate it into Qt and Qt Creator would be the ideal solution. There are legal issues there that have to be solved, of course, but it might be worthwhile to check if this is possible, instead of just rewriting everything ourselves.
