<B>LIST IS STILL IN PROGRESS</B>
 
<b>List is in no particular order</b>
<b>[[Simple_Citation | Simple Citation]]</b>
*Localized the extension to Bahasa Melayu (Malay) **Language used widely in Malaysia, Singapore, and other south east Asian countries
<b>[[Calendar_stuff | Calendar Stuff]]</b>
*Started off the project
*Helped with the Thunderbird build
**[[User:Eor | Eva Or]] was having a tremendous amount of problems getting it to build.
**Provided the right .mozconfig file for the build.
**Build was successful!
*Looked into the old itip files, wanted to help [[User:Eor | Eva Or]] with it but due to time constraints, this is impossible(Not really a contribution but thought I might put it in anyways)
<b>[[CSS_guide | CSS Guide]]</b>
*Wrote Completed documentation for **[[CSS_GUIDE_VERTICAL_ALIGN | CSS Vertical-Align]]* In progress:** [[CSS_GUIDE_BACKGROUND_REPEAT | background-repeat]]** [[CSS_GUIDE_-MOZ-OPACITY | -moz-opacity]] 
<b>[[Delta_debugging_framework#Project_Task_List | Delta Debugging]]</b>
*Documenting source code ** Starting off with: *** [[svn.pl]] and [[makewrapper.pl]] - <b>DONE</b> (Reflects the comments [[User:RichardChu|Richard Chu]] made after my first submission)*** Documented and changed Update subroutine in progresssvn.pl to allow users to use BASE, COMMITTED, PREV to update*** My old comments about svn.pl**** For <b>Update</b> subroutine***** Shouldn't users also be allowed to use BASE, COMMITTED, PREV to update?***** Currently, subroutine only allows these revision values: HEAD and numbers ***** Currently you allow svn update command to perform even if file is not defined, shouldn't it disallow svn update to perform if file is undefined?*** [[User:RichardChu|Richard Chu]]:**** The users should probably be able to use those revision keywords. And it is a really minor change to allow that subroutine to allow those keywords. **** I'm pretty sure the svn update command will perform even though no file is defined.** Then, files in the Test directory: - <b>IN PROGRESS</b>*** Test.pm, TestCase.pm, TestSuite.pm, TestResult.pm, and TestRunner.pm*Advised project leader on licensing
<b>[[SVN| SVN at a glance]]</b>
*Wrote a proper documentation on how to use SVN to put all the commonly used commands for our DPS909 projects in one place.
<b>[[XULRunner_Guide | XUL Runner Guide]]</b>
*Went over the Hello World tutorial , commented it and commented several ways to improve it:** [[Talk:How_to_do_a_Hello_World_application_using_XULRunner | Comments on the tutorial and a several things to improve it]]** [[User:mylau | Mike Lau]] made a new tutorial reflecting some of the comments - [[How_to_make_a_Hello_World_application_using_XULRunner|How to make a Hello World application using XULRunner]]*Looked into automating the task for Wiki to PDF conversion.**This task is such a challenge. I've looked into most of the sites that explain about how converting wiki to PDf PDF could be done. **Most of the solutions entail embedding php code in the settings file etc. Not the solution that [[User:Mylau | Mike Lau]] is looking for.**Most of the extensions for this task are either broken or for sysadmins, and I was on the verge of giving up looking for an easy solution to this task.*** Downloaded and installed WikiPDF, a Mediawiki extension. Only for sysadmins.**** http://sourceforge.net/projects/wikipdf
*** Found this, but it's broken: If you just want to make a PDF file from a Wikipedia article, go to: http://wiki.auf-trag.de/
** [[User:Robcee |Rob Campbell]] recommended this: http://mediawiki.blender.org/index.php/Meta/Wiki_to_PDF
*** Will try this out
** [[User:dwwoodsi|Dean Woodside]] also provided some links that I haven't gone over thoroughly, but at a glance, it looks like it's only for sysadmin
*** http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-l/2005-April/004456.html
*** http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Alternative_parsers
** Wiki 2 PDF discussion
*** http://wiki.splitbrain.org/wiki:discussion:exporting_pdf
** I'm highly interested in taking on the role of getting Wiki 2 PDF working for our wiki. However, this task is impeded by my hectic schedule. I've spoken to Dave Humphrey and will look into this task after exams. Furthermore, we don't have access to zenit.
<b>[[Functional_Testing | Functional Testing]]</b>
*Hosted a few functional testing events
<b>[[Mozilla%40Seneca_Wiki_Administration Bug_Triage_Extension | Mozilla Seneca Wiki AdministrationBug Triage Extension]]</b>* Took care of Will be testing this Wiki pageextension on Dec 10 2006* Created a bug for Buggy Bar!! ** Check it out - [[Talk:Bug_Triage_Extension | The buggy bug!]]** For some reason it wouldn't allow me to upload png files  <b>[[Extending_the_Buildbot | Extending the Buildbot]]</b>* CSS for the Buildbot** http://hera.senecac.on.ca:9205** Put together a css file with the right color combinations, alignments, padding, font, borders etc.** Approved by [[User:bhearsum | Ben Hearsum]] after a few attempts at it 
<b>[[Club_Moz | Club Moz]]</b>
