| − | The page seems too long to have all the project news in the main page so I thought it be a better idea to moved some of the project news to the Project News Archive.
| + | Talked to [[User: elichak | elichak]] about the conversion between Wiki and PDF. She mentioned the fact that in order to convert Wikis into PDF, I would need to embed some code like PHP into the Wiki for the converting program to work. This theory of her's did make senes since due to the research I've done last week had the same results. If I were to automate the PDF conversion, I would have to talk to ACS since they own the code base for zenit. I don't think I'll be using that method. It's too much of a hassle. Since the document seems pretty short, I'm going to put it into the PDF manually. |

| − | These were some of the links I found that can potentially convert Wiki's to PDF automatically. I have yet to test these few alternatives but hopefully I'll get around to it next week.

| − | Also, there was one site which I went to whcih said the easiest way of solving the converting between wiki to PDF issue was to save each file as HTML and convert them to PDF using Open Office. This seems like usable alternative since my team only has about 20 pages max. Although this is true, I would still like to automate the converting. Some users in the community might want to know how to do this as well.

| − | On top of converting the pages to PDF, I also need to know if there's a free PDF editor that I can use. I suspect after converting each file to PDF, it won't be formatted properly or at least to not my liking.

| − | Updated all the doucments in the '''Tutorial on XULRunner''' sections. They include:
| |
| − | :*File/Folder Structure
| |
| − | :*application.ini File
| |
| − | :*chrome.manifest File
| |
| − | :*prefs.js File
| |
| − | :*How to run the application

| − | Since there is only one version of XULRunner that this document is discussing currently, I moved [[XULRunner_1.8 | Deploying XULRunner 1.8]] to [[How_to_deploy_XULRunner | Delploying XULRunner]]. Also, I moved the XULRunner Guide Outline from the main page to [[XULRunner_Guide_Outline]]. In the guide, I removed the following:
| |
| − | :*New features in this release
| |
| − | :*Changes made
| |
| − | :*Bug Fixes for each version
| |
| − | There wasn't much information on these topics, if any. To be able to have these sections in the guide would require extensive time to investigate the isuses of XULRunner from day 1 of when it was launched. We don't have that much tine to invest on this. I also rearranged some of the topics in the outline such as '''XULRunner Version''' and '''About this guide'''.

| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | I've added an introduction and conclusion to the [[How_to_do_a_Hello_World_application_using_XULRunner | How to do a Hello World application using XULRunner]]. I also revised the document so its more intuitive for new developers as well as provided a screenshot of the executed program.
