'''January 18, 2007 by mylau'''
* Changed the dead link for the XULRunner Guide v1.3
'''December 12, 2006 by mylau'''
* Special thanks to [[User:Mattar1 | Mattar1]] for proof reading our version 1 of the guide and [[User:Jbmossop | Jbmossop]] for creating an icon for the footer of each page of the guide.
* Updated the wiki to match the PDF information,
* Updated the contribution list and the Todo List
* Sent an email to bsmedberg and attached a copy of the PDF file
'''December 13, 2006 by cbguy1'''
* Proofread the XULRunner Guide and made revisions as necessary and emailed the doc to [[User:Mylau | mylau]] to be uploaded. to his site.
'''December 12, 2006 by mylau'''
* Thanks to mfinkle for providing me some feedback on fixes which needed to be made for the guide. I took most of his advice and made the modifications necessary.
* I looked at the guide [[User:Cbguy1 | cbguy1]] posted but required a lot of work. I tried editing the PDF directly but could not find any good tool to use. I attempted to modify the PDF using Foxit Editor but I spent over 1hour learning how to do it. I realized this was not the best approach to modifying the PDF. Hence, I redid the whole document to PDF. I put all the written work on the wiki onto a word document and converted it using Open Office. This was the practical solution since most of the work in the document was not proof read and organized.
* Fixed some of the spelling and grammatical mistakes while reorganizing the document to fit onto the PDF.
* If possible it would be great if there were people who would like to proof read our document to ensure the document is sound.

Sherman and I just finished compiling and editing the XulRunner Guide and converted it to PDF format. The guide can be viewed [http://warp.senecac.on.ca/cbguy1/XULRunner/XULRunnerGuide.pdf here]

I added some of the minor details [[User: elichak | elichak]] mentioned in the [[Talk:How_to_do_a_Hello_World_application_using_XULRunner | Hello World discussion]]. She helped find a lot of the little mistakes that I would have never found. Just to note one thing she mentionied, posting bat files which creates the directory tree automatically, this won't be a good idea for the guide. The main reason is that bat files are Window's specific. Until someone creates a script which auto-creates directories for Linux and Mac, I won't put the bat file but thanks for the help.

Today I found a really good link for [http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Debugging_a_XULRunner_Application Deubbing XULRunner applications]. I also finally finished the debugging XULRunner part of the guide. Looks like the guide is in good shape for the deliverable that will be sent to [[User:David.humphrey | David Humphrey]]. All that needs to be done which is mandatory is putting the information in the wiki into PDF which [[User:Cbguy1| Cbguy1]] said would do.
Other things I worked on:
:* Updated Todo list
:* Updated the contribution list
