Project Name

Documenting Interface Reference Documents

Project Description

Mozilla is comprised of a number of interfaces that are used for programming it and for writing add-ons for it. And majority of them are undocumented. Therefore i would be sitting down and reading files that contain information about certain interfaces (IDL - Interface Definition Files) and transcribing that information into "Interface Reference Documents Format".

Project Details

Release 0.1

Goals: Document the following Storage API Interfaces

Basically, the first thing that needs to be done is to start reading about the Storage API. Then read into the Storage API IDL files that contain information about set of interfaces that lets extensions store data in a local database.

After that I will start documenting some of the Storage API IDL's into the MDC - Interfaces Documentation section.

Release 0.2

Goals: Document the following Public Places Interfaces

Basically, the first thing that needs to be done is to start reading about the Places API. Then read into the Places API IDL files that contain information about Firefox's bookmarks and history system.

After that I will start documenting these IDL's into the MDC - Interfaces Documentation section.

Release 0.3

Goals: Document the following Public Places Interfaces

Interfaces not found:

  • nsIAccessibleAction
  • nsIAccessibleCaret
  • nsIAccessibleEventListener

Basically, the first thing that needs to be done is to start reading about these interfaces because they are from different API's and they have different standards and requirements.

After that I will start documenting these IDL's into the MDC - Interfaces Documentation section.
