DeveloperDays/ParisJune2007/ProposedTopics
From MozillaWiki
General information: Paris June 2007
Proposed Topics [edit]
Feel free to add an item here if there's something that you'd particularly like to discuss with your fellow Mozilla developers at this DevDay. Please indicate your name and give a brief description of what you think a discussion of this topic should include. Links to more information are always a good idea! (Don't forget to say on the main Paris page that you're coming!)
- XUL development tools (shaver). Given the strength of the XUL community in France especially, I think it would be great to talk a bit about what the current tools are (including libraries), what things are still harder than they should be, and what opportunities for improvement people see.
- XUL (Enn). Related to the above, a discussion about the future of XUL itself including planned improvements for Mozilla 1.9 and 2.0 and also what areas or features developers feel are lacking or need improvement.
- Multimedia & Gecko (unknown; migrated from main page)
- Hacking Mozilla in Europe - pros and cons vs. North America (unknown; migrated from main page)
- MDC and localization (sheppy). We'd like to learn and discuss how to work better with MDC localizers, to make our documentation great for developers all over the world.
- Develop a one place remote storage of you prefered add-ons in order to avoid forget some add ons when you install firefox on multiple computers. Exemple an administrator could have a set of very usefull add ons and be able to install this set upon all the computers of its network.
Demo Signups [edit]
Add a quick note here, preferably with a link, if you've got an application, extension, or robotic animal to demonstrate. (We're going to try to keep the demos quick and sharp, so you might want to practice giving a great demo in 4-5 minutes!)
