These were some of the links I found that can potentially convert Wiki's to PDF automatically:[http://www. I have yet to test these few alternatives but hopefully I'll get around to it next weekmikeylau.com/downloads/XULRunner%20Guide%20v1.3.pdf XULRunner Guide v1.5.pdf]

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:[http://curr.

Looked into the :<strike>[http://metacurr.wikimediamylau.orgnet/school/wikiDPS909/PDF_Export XULRunner%20Guide.pdf XULRunner Guide.PDF] recommended by [[User:Melz | Melz]] and recommendation by [[User:Elichak | Elichak]] for the documentation structure

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 applicationGuide Todo List==

Since there is only one version '''Note:''' If you would like to contribute to any of XULRunner that this document is discussing currently, I moved [[XULRunner_1.8 | Deploying XULRunner 1.8]] in the todo list or would like to [[How_to_deploy_XULRunner | Delploying XULRunner]]. Also, I moved the XULRunner Guide Outline from the main page add something to [[XULRunner_Guide_Outline]]. In the guidetodo list, I removed please notify the following::*New features in this release:*Changes made:*Bug Fixes for each versionThere wasn't much information on these topics, if anyProject leaders. To be able to have these sections in the guide would require extensive time Also, just because someone is already assigned to investigate the isuses of XULRunner from day 1 of when it was launched. We don't have that much tine to invest , does not mean you cannot also work on this. I also rearranged some of the topics in the outline such as '''XULRunner Version''' and '''About this guide'''it.

I've added an introduction and conclusion ''December 12, 2006 by mylau'''* Special thanks to [[User:Mattar1 | Mattar1]] for proof reading our version 1 of the guide and [[How_to_do_a_Hello_World_application_using_XULRunner User:Jbmossop | How to do a Hello World application using XULRunnerJbmossop]]. I also revised for creating an icon for the document so its more intuitive for new developers as well as provided a screenshot footer of each page of the executed programguide. '''November 25* Updated the wiki to match the PDF information, 2006 by cbguy1'''<br>Currently working on * Updated the different mehods XULRunner is deployed amoung contribution list and the various operating Todo Listsystems.

I am looking for any similarities and differences.  '''October 09, 2006 by mylau''' * I've looked through bsmedberg emails on XULRunner (XR) for this week. For a starting point, I wanted to start with at the simplist task first, creating guide [[User:Cbguy1 | cbguy1]] posted but required a "Hello World" application for XRlot of work. I've searched through quite a few websites, mainly from tried editing the MDCPDF directly but could not find any good tool to use. For I attempted to modify the first half of the day, PDF using Foxit Editor but I couldn't find any websites which actually guided me step by step on spent over 1hour learning how to create a simple XR applicationdo it. The closes website I found realized this was from [http://blogs.acceleration.net/ryan/archive/2005/05/06/1073.aspx Ryan's Blog]. The blog had a tutorial on how to set up a XR application but it missed one important aspect, how not the best approach to run modifying the applicationPDF.  After thisHence, I realized I've been putting too much time finding tutorial on how redid the whole document to create an intutive XR applicationPDF. Perhaps no one has posted any I put all the written work on the web yetwiki onto a word document and converted it using Open Office. So I tried to reverse engineer an existing XR application, [http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/XULMine_sample_XULRunner_Application_%28external%29 XULMine]This was the practical solution since most of the work in the document was not proof read and organized. Unfortunately I wasn't very successful* Fixed some of the spelling and grammatical mistakes while reorganizing the document to fit onto the PDF. The code for this application seem too complex for myself * If possible it would be great if there were people who would like to proof read our document to understandensure the document is sound.

As a result'''December 11, 2006 by cbguy1'''Sherman and I started my search all over againjust finished compiling and editing the XulRunner Guide and converted it to PDF format. Fortunately, I missed a link which was on MDC XULRunner, The guide can be viewed [http://developerwarp.mozillasenecac.orgon.ca/encbguy1/docsXULRunner/Getting_started_with_XULRunner Getting started with XRXULRunnerGuide.pdf here]. Thankfully, I was able to create my first "Hello World" application on XR. I wasn't able to finish writing documentation on this but hopefully by the end of the week, I'll be able to manage some time and have this completed.

'''October 02December 9, 2006 by mylau''' Today I found a really good link for [http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Debugging_a_XULRunner_Application Deubbing XULRunner applications]. I also finally finished the debugging XULRunner part of the guide. Looks like the guide is in good shape for the deliverable that will be sent to [[User:David.humphrey | David Humphrey]]. All that needs to be done which is mandatory is putting the information in the wiki into PDF which [[User:Cbguy1| Cbguy1]] said would do.

We sent an email to bsmerdberg about what we've currently have Other things I worked on so far for this project. Dave Humphrey helped us send another email dria, bsmedberg, and sheppy about our project. We're currently waiting for their response. Hopefully they will tell us what they want in ::* Updated Todo list:* Updated the XULRunner guide. contribution list

'''December 8, 2006 by mylau'''* Emailed bsmedberg on our progress of the guide and asked his feedback. Also mentioned to him that Colin and I have started testing the stable version will be sending him a PDF of XULRunner which is 1our guide to date.8* Special thanks to [[User: Dwwoodsi]] for letting me know about the new Mozilla person mfinkle.0.4 I spoke to mfinkle about our guide and asked the person to provide feedback.

We also put ll have time to incorporate his feedback into the information in the XULRunner Guide outlineguide as well.

Moved the outline to have its own heading. This way when changes are needed to be made, its done on the outline rather than keep updating Added a TODO list for the project news section.
