Mozilla-Central
====Mozilla-Central====
[https://developer.mozilla.org/en/mozilla-central Mozilla-Central] is the main repository for Mozilla source code. This is the raw fodder out of which documentation will be created. How it is created doesn't really appear on our diagram unless you count the "How does this happen?" note.  Well, how it happens is through a static analysis tool called [https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Dehydra Dehydra]. In layman's terms, Dehydra reads the Mozilla source code and annotates it in a way that can be turned into documentation in an automated fashion. This part is another project entirely and as it relates to our project, the relevant work is being done by David Humphrey. However, our team will need to setup the Dehyra tool to feed our update server. (More on that in a moment.) David has assured us that this part is not a huge job. It might be useful to sit down with him sometime in the near future and get our own development setup running to play around with and use for research. (David has a setup, but we wouldn't want to muck it up.) For now, let's just take it as read that the Mozilla source code has been processed and fed to the update server.
