Portable DXR

Name of Project

Portable Dehydra Cross Referene (PDXR)

Description

This project aims to turn the DXR into an extension that can be installed in Firefox or distributed as a XUL/Prism application. This will allow developers with limited or no internet connection to access it offline. The extension will also provide a low-bandwidth solution for pushing updates to the end-user.

• Mozilla Developer Resource Kit: This is the over-arching project of which the PDXR is but one piece.
• Creating an MDRK spin: This is how this project will eventually be distributed.
• Create a local mxr: It is hoped that by solving the more difficult problem of packaging the dxr, the problem of packaging other materials such as an mxr or developer documentation will also be solved.
