Dive into Mozilla > Dive into Mozilla Day1 > IRC Lab

Overview

This lab is designed to give you first-hand experience using IRC to work on a collaborative project. You will work as a group in competition with other groups in order to write a document that describes:

  • What is a Firefox Extension?
  • What is a Firefox Theme?
  • How to get and install Firefox add-ons.
  • List and describe as many extensions/themes as you can

Instructions

  1. Use the #seneca channel for general questions only
  2. We will break into smaller groups and use #seneca1, #seneca2, ... senecaN for group work. Form a group of no more than 5 using the following steps:
    1. Join #seneca1 (use /join #seneca1)
    2. If #seneca1 has fewer than 5 people, you are done.
    3. If #seneca1 has 5 or more people, leave #seneca1 and join #seneca2
    4. Repeat step 2 until you find a #senecaN channel that has fewer than 5 people
  3. You may only use IRC to communicate with your group members (no in-person communication or physical passing of information)
  4. You must install and test' any extensions or themes that you write about.
  5. You cannot copy-paste any text from the web.
  6. Use any method you wish to create your document. Some ideas are:
    • a Wiki page (you can use this wiki)
    • Google Docs
    • a regular word processor document
