Our Problem Description:
We are working on making two Greasemonkey userscripts into Firefox extensions. We need a program to compile our userscripts into Firefox extension format (.xpi). Our Userscripts are on GitHub here:
[login to view URL]
and here:
[login to view URL]
What exists:
We want to use a userscript-to-extension compiler that was written in PHP a few years ago, but it is not up to date with the current versions of Greasemonkey or Firefox. You can see the old compiler here:
[login to view URL]
and the source code is on GitHub here:
[login to view URL]
What we want:
We need someone to fork the compiler code on Github and update it to be compatible with the Greasemonkey 0.9.13 and Firefox 9.0.1. The new code should make functional .xpi files from userscripts with all Greasemonkey functionality.
Process:
Once the job begins, here are the milestones
1. fork the compiler repository
2. update the compiler PHP code
3. to show that your compiler works, send us example .xpi files made from our two userscripts as well as these popular ones:
[login to view URL]
[login to view URL]
[login to view URL]
4. then send us a pull request on GitHub to merge in your new code.
Successful Bid will include:
Demonstration of experience/knowledge of Greasemonkey and Firefox development with an eye towards identifying what needs to be added to existing compiler script. It is desirable for bids to link to the coder's GitHub account for demonstration of competency.
