Add some technologies

xfq opened this issue · comments

For example:

New software/languages/technologies:

  • CSS (in Firefox, SeaMonkey, Thunderbird, Persona, and web development)
  • Assembly (in NSS)
  • MySQL/MongoDB/ElasticSearch (in Webmaker)
  • XUL (in Firefox, SeaMonkey, Thunderbird, and XULRunner)
  • XBL(in Firefox, SeaMonkey, Thunderbird, and XULRunner)
  • XPCOM?

These two languages already exists, but I didn't find XULRunner and Rhino:

  • JavaScript (in XULRunner)
  • Java (in Rhino)

Thanks for the suggestions! I don't get the impression that XULRunner is an active project any longer, so I don't really want to try to attract people to work on it. In terms of the assembly in NSS, I'm confident that there are no specific tasks related to that so I doubt much interest in attracting people for whom it is their primary skill. Given that Mozilla is one of the only users of XUL/XBL/XPCOM, I don't see any value in adding them to the currently list. In terms of the SQL/NoSQL stuff, I'm not really sure how well those fit in - one might be familiar with those but not know the actual language that's used to communicate them (such as JS for Webmaker). Rhino was explicitly removed a while ago because it's a dead project, as far as I can tell.

CSS might be a good addition, though! Want to create a pull request?
