Launches Open Badges Project

Today we announced Mozilla’s Open Badge Infrastructure project , an effort to make it easy to issue and share digital learning badges across the web. More and more people are looking at badges to show skills and achievements online.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Extension_Versioning,_Update_and_Compatibility Add-on Versioning Add-ons should specify their versions using the Toolkit version format . As a rough overview this is a version string split by periods, some examples: 2.0 1.0b1 3.0pre1 5.0.1.2 Note: Before Firefox 1.5 the more basic Firefox Version Format was used: major.minor.release.build[+] where only digits were allowed. The toolkit version format supports the Firefox version format but allows greater flexibility.

[Résolu] Soucis pour publier la mise à jour de mon extension

http://www.geckozone.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=77896 Bonjour J'ai repris une extension (privée) d'un copain depuis plusieurs mois, et je n'ai pas réussi à mettre en place une mise à jour automatique jusque là. Je m'y suis penché plus sérieusement depuis ce week-end, mais j'obtiens toujours la même erreur lorsque je souhaite mettre à jour (sur Firefox Portable) :
Gosh, Ed, I'm sorry to hear this is giving you problems. Here's all you need to do: 1) Open McCoy and highlight the RSA entry you created when you installed the program. 2) Using McCoy, click on the "Install" button and locate your theme's install.rdf file. This inserts the updateKey. 3) Package your theme into a .jar file, calculate a hash, and place the updateHash entry inside the update.rdf file you will be using on your site. (See below for additional info on how to calculate the hash.) 4) Using McCoy, click on the "Sign" button and locate the update.rdf file. http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=585878&sid=64bd4e8493205cc8fbdc3ef1ba2723c9
