Thanks for your suggestions. We've been planning to have docs on the built-in utilities. See http://labs.toolness.com/trac/ticket/108.

Provide some API docs for the various built-in utilities (CmdUtils, > etc) - the tutorial mentions a few of the available methods, but some > auto-generated API docs would really help as people are probably > missing out on lots of useful features. I'm a big fan of JSDoc > Toolkit, it's templatable and written in JS so should fit into your > build systems easy enough. > In the short term just link to the source files for these, the > builtincmds.js and nountypes.js links in the tutorial are currently > dead (I tried to fix them but wasn't sure which files were the correct > one, i'll keep looking). > 2. Provide a public command feed parser for the Herd - I subscribed to > the Herd and my feed is showing but the commands are not listed, only > the feed URL. Looking into it it seems that the Herd parser doesn't > like my feed for some reason. A form to test arbitrary feeds against > the parser might help people get their commands working nicely with > the Herd. > > I've rambled on enough now, so I'll just say thanks again to the > Ubiiquity team and everyone else involved :-) > > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "ubiquity-firefox" group.
