=Description=
This project aims to turn the [http://142.204.133.123/dxr DXR] into an extension that can be installed in Firefox or distributed as a XUL/[http://labs.mozilla.com/2007/10/prism/ Prism] application. This will allow developers with limited or no internet connection to access it the Mozilla source code and documentation in an offlineenvironment. The extension will also provide a low-bandwidth solution for pushing applying updates to on a timed interval or at the end-user's command.
The [http://142.204.133.123/dxr DXR] is a compilation of Mozilla developer documentation. The plan is for this material to be distributed on a Fedora Live DVD that will allow the user to access these materials offline or, alternatively, install them for use on a Windows machine.
Currently the Local MXR and MDRK exist as web applications that run only on Fedora and require the installation of MySQL, Perl and apache. These projects have to be setup manually and are not installable.
Our part in this project would be to convert these projects so that they can be installed cross-platform as a Mozilla Firefox extension.
