Prior to this course, I've never been involved with open source projects. This course has opened up my eyes to the Mozilla community and I'm really impressed with the work that the Mozilla community members have done in their spare time. By far, this is one of the most interesting courses I've ever taken at Seneca and I can't express greater gratitude to be given the opportunity to be part of this fascinating project.

Then, files in the Test directory: Test.pm, TestCase.pm, TestSuite.pm, TestResult.pm, and TestRunner.pm SVN at a glance Wrote a proper documentation on how to use SVN to put all the commonly used commands for our DPS909 projects in one place. XUL Runner Guide Went over the Hello World tutorial and commented on it Looked into automating the task for Wiki to PDF conversion. This task is such a challenge. I've looked into most of the sites that explain about how converting wiki to PDF could be done. Most of the solutions entail embedding php code in the settings file etc. Not the solution that Mike Lau is looking for. Most of the extensions for this task are either broken or for sysadmins, and I was on the verge of giving up looking for an easy solution to this task. Downloaded and installed this WikiPDF is a Mediawiki extension. Only for sysadmins. http://sourceforge.net/projects/wikipdf Found this, but it's broken: If you just want to make a PDF file from a Wikipedia article, go to: http://wiki.auf-trag.de/ Robcee recommended this: http://mediawiki.blender.org/index.php/Meta/Wiki_to_PDF Will try this out Dean also provided some links that I haven't gone over thoroughly, but at a glance, it looks like it's only for sysadmin http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-l/2005-April/004456.html http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Alternative_parsers Wiki 2 PDF discussion http://wiki.splitbrain.org/wiki:discussion:exporting_pdf I'm highly interested in taking on the role of getting Wiki 2 PDF working for our wiki. However, this task is impeded by my hectic schedule. I've spoken to Dave Humphrey and will look into this task after exams. Furthermore, we don't have access to zenit. Functional Testing Hosted a few functional testing events Mozilla Seneca Wiki Administration Took care of this Wiki page Club Moz Collaborated with Tom Aratyn, Ben Hearsum, Vanessa Miranda and Philip Vitorino in hosting Hack Day The aim of this event is to provide a common place for students to work on their Open Source projects Students are also well-fed with junk food!!
