Hello all,
Last week was my first experience with Open Source Development. It was exploring Ubiquity which is a great add-on for Firefox. It allows users to perform simple commands and great mashups very fast and easy. We had to implement a feedback command that will be given a command and feedback while it should send an email to the command's author with the feedback. First of all, I had in mind two directions of performing this command: either to search for the command author online and get his e-mail and the other was to search for a command object that could represent a command and then access its attributes to get the author's e-mail. I searched a lot for the Ubiquity documentation until I found a command called getCommandByName (commandname) that takes command name as a string and returns back a command object. Afterwards, trying to use the command was a pain as I found out last that this function is included in Ubiquity 0.5.5. And the one on Mozilla web page was Ubiquity 0.5.4.
Unfortunately, I didn't have time to complete the command. However, I get really excited into Open Source development where many people can use my solutions and learned the way of thinking for Open Source Development.
