I'm interested in hearing from developers who are working with XULRunner. Tell me what troubles you, what parts need better documentation and other things that need improvement. I'm going to be writing documentation for MDC, as part of my Mozpad responsibilities. I'm simply looking for feedback so that I can choose which documents would be most helpful.

I Wrote a document about Windows Installler. and i need other platform installer issue.
  1. howto create .dmg package for Mac OS X.
  2. howto create .tar.gz (?) package for Linux. or Distro depend package (like .deb, .rpm, etc...)
Other documents, about 'transparent window support' I need. widgetrunner is best way to release 'transparent window type application'. if i have time, i want to write tips about transparent window for xulrunenr. One point: Mac OS X is not support transparent window currentry. I want to write issue transparent window <-> normal window comptible program.

Thanks!

Thanks for the link to your windows installer article, this will be very helpful to people who want to deploy their application on windows. I made a few corrections for spelling/grammar, though it might still need a few corrections. I don't have experience with making Linux installers, however, I did write a document about setting up .dmg installers for Mac OS X. That document is at http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/XULRunner:Creating_custom_app_bundles_for_Mac_OS_X however, it is currently incomplete.

unknown differences between FF3 and xulrunner

I am working with xulrunner for months struggeling over and over again. there are strange differences between the two alpha builds (for example the MIDAS-implementation: Table/Image-inline editing works in FF). It would be worth to point out the Differences between them. chris

default preferences

This is somewhat of a mystery to me as well, however, I do know of one major cause of differences: Many of the differences are explained by different preferences (check about:config) - in firefox lots of the defaults are different from the xulrunner baseline defaults.
