all corners created equal

I implemented a few features tonight. Most notably the ability to position hab.la in any corner of your browser, i.e. TopLeft, TopRight, BottomRight, BottomLeft. Personally I think the BottomRight Corner is the best place for Hab.la, but I also believe in freedom, freedom to place the Hab.la window anywhere you want – the idea that all corners created equal, and shall not be ignored.

I’ll assume you are familiar with the Hab.la config object by now, if not do a search in the blog for wc_config(). You can use the wc_config() object to position the Hab.la window.

config = wc_config();
config.setPosition("TR"); // top right
config.setPosition("TL"); // top left
config.setPosition("BR"); // bottom right
config.setPosition("BL"); // bottom left

wc_init("your-habla-code",config);

That’s it. As always I greatly appreciate it when members of our community take something I write in the blog, and extend it into a wiki page, on the Hab.la Wiki.

Hab.la Wiki is Here!

I think about 1 person told us we should have a wiki to discuss all the important wiki like things help us build more up to date documentation on what you can do with Hab.la.

Well the documentation isn’t here yet, but it is kind of fun to be able to create a wiki page, I even rattled off a quick FAQ.

Feel free to contribute to our meager documentation. Our first goal is to take all the posts from the blog and weave them into something readable/grokable on the wiki. I’d say look for this in about a week :-)

Tutorials!

I'll be the first to admit that writing tutorials is not the most fun task in the world, but I've completed nice hab.la tutorials for iChat and Adium to augment the AppleScript installers. Writing all those tutorials made me think that it would be really cool if A. Tutorials were done on a Wiki and B. Help was internationalized, and by internationalized I mean -- wouldn't it be cool to have tutorials for pirates, Yarr!

I did a little bit of research, and found a nice comparison of the available internationalization options on the Rails Wiki. Of course I can't imagine how you could merge a Wiki and internationalization, so it looks like we'll have to pick one or the other -- or at the very least split the help documentation between a Wiki and more static internationalized documents. I'll see what the rest of the team thinks tomorrow.
