Introduction
This page lists many of the research and coursework projects that are being done between Seneca faculty, students, and various Open Source communities, including Mozilla, Fedora, and OpenOffice.org. All of these projects are open source, and you can get involved with any of the current ones, or look at the list of Potential Projects. To claim a project, move it from the Potential Projects page to Active Project table below and create a link to a new project page based on the Sample Project page.
Active Projects
| Project Name | Description | Leader(s) | Community or Communities |
|---|---|---|---|
| Canvas3D JS Library | A project to add JS APIs on top of the canvas3d element in order to support 3D and game development. | Cathy Lenug | Mozilla |
| Mozilla Developer Resource Kit | A project to create a resource kit (i.e., DVDs) containing the tools, documentation, source code, and learning materials necessary for a new developer or student to begin developing Mozilla. | David Humphrey | Mozilla |
| Create Local MXR | Many developers without highspeed network access would like to be able to use MXR but can't. Build a lightweight, installable Windows package that gives the full functionality of MXR locally. Create a Prism front-end specific for the task of using this local MXR. | David Humphrey | Mozilla |
| Add an Infobar style warning for window resize/move | Many (poorly behaved) web sites attempt to move and/or resize your browser window. It is possible to stop this behaviour (cf. dom.disable_window_move_resize) but it would be nice to have an infobar that informed the user that a web page attempted to move/resize the window, and allow it or ignore it (default). This behaviour is similar to the current Pop-up Blocker already present in Firefox. NOTE: it is not clear whether such a feature would be accepted in the tree or if this would need to be done as an extension. | Tony Lai | Mozilla |
| Contribute to Private Browsing Tests | The new Private Browsing feature (see bug 248970 and the test plan) needs thorough tests written in order to insure its proper functionality. This will involve collaborating with those writing the patch and tests in order to develop a full suite of tests. | Aaron Train | Mozilla |
