We've been working on helping new projects get off the ground faster by simplifying the mundane parts of creating a new Mozilla project by creating a project wizard [1] (suggestions on a better name that distinguish between a Mozdev and a wizard project are welcome) and it's now ready for your use!
We've been building on the excellent Fizzypop [2] which we learned about at last year's Mozilla Summit [3] in order to make it easier to add new project types (our contributions can be found in our hg fizzypop repository [4] with tracking in bug#505441 [5]). We've already added Songbird extensions to the choices and hope to add Songbird feathers and Komodo extensions in the near future. New projects are given links to the wizard to get started on their project right away. Existing projects can select their project and have a template generated for them to get them going in a new direction quickly as well. If you have any problems or suggestions please let us know or add them to bug#19617 [6]. -Doug [1] http://www.mozdev.org/projects/wizard [2] https://wiki.mozilla.org/FizzyPop [3] http://www.mozdev.org/drupal/blog/W30-W31-2008-Status-Update-and-OSCONMozilla-Summit-Review [4] http://hg.mozdev.org/hovercraft/fizzypop/ [5] https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=505441 [6] https://www.mozdev.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=19617 -- Doug Warner <[email protected]> Site Developer Mozdev.org http://www.mozdev.org _______________________________________________ Project_owners mailing list [email protected] https://www.mozdev.org/mailman/listinfo/project_owners
