[[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 ==
# Use the #seneca channel for general questions only
# 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:
## Join #seneca1 (use /join #seneca1)
## If #seneca1 has fewer than 5 people, you are done.
## If #seneca1 has 5 or more people, leave #seneca1 and join #seneca2
## Repeat step 2 until you find a #senecaN channel that has fewer than 5 people
# You may only use IRC to communicate with your group members (no in-person communication or physical passing of information)
# You must '''install'' and '''test''' any extensions or themes that you write about.
# You cannot copy-paste any text from the web.
# Use any method you wish to create your document. Some ideas are:
#* a Wiki page (you can use this wiki)
#* [docs.google.com/ Google Docs]
#* a regular word processor document
