&lt;br /&gt;
හන්තාන පාසල් විද්‍යාගාර වැඩසටහන යටතේ නුවර එළිය දිස්ත්‍රික්කයේ 
වළපනේ අධයාපන කළාපයේ දුෂ්කර පාසලක් වන සාගල පුර විදුහලට පරිගණක පහකින් සහ 
අවශ්‍ය අනෙකුත් උපාංග වලින් සමන්විත පරිගණක විද්‍යාගාරයක් ලබා දීමේ 
ව්‍යාපෘතිය අපි දැනටමත් ආරම්භ කර ඇත.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Q7wBwyTRlRA/T17aFFZgljI/AAAAAAAABOw/Ak1Ncm--h9s/s1600/HanthanaSchoolLabs01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="122" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Q7wBwyTRlRA/T17aFFZgljI/AAAAAAAABOw/Ak1Ncm--h9s/s320/HanthanaSchoolLabs01.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
මේ සඳහා ඇස්තමේන්තුගත මුදල රු. 260,000 වන අතර මේ වන විට රු. 80,000ක 
මුදලක් එක් රැස් කර ගැනීමට හැකි වී ඇත. එයින් රු. 52,000 ක මුදලින් එක් 
පරිගණයක් මිලදී ගැනීමේ කටයුතු මේ වන විටත් සිදු වෙමින් පවතින අතර නුදුරු 
අනාගතයේදී එම පරිගණකය සාගල පුර විදුහලේ සිසු දරු දැරියන්ගේ අධයාපනය කටයුතු 
වඩාත් හොඳින් කරගෙන යාමට සහය වීම සඳහා පාසල වෙත ලබා දීමට අපි බලාපොරොත්තු 
වෙමු. ඉතිරි පරිගණක හතර සහ අනෙකුත් උපාංග අප වෙත මුදල් ලැබෙන ආකාරය අනුව 
මිළදී ගෙන පාසල වෙත ලබා දීමට අපි බලාපොරොත්තු දෙමු.&lt;br /&gt;
තවද පරිගණක සියල්ල එකවර ලබා දිමෙන් තොරව&amp;nbsp; මුදල් සූදානම් වූ විගස අදාල 
පරිගණ ලබා දීම සිදු කරන බව කරුණුවානෙ සලකන්න. එනම් මීළඟ රු25,000 ලැබුණු 
විගස දෙවන පරිගණකයද ලබා දෙනු ඇත.&lt;br /&gt;
රු. 80,000ක මුදල එක් රැස් කර ගැනීම සඳහා මූල්‍යමය දායකත්වය සැපයූ පුද්ගලයින්ගේ නම් පහත සඳහන් වේ.&lt;br /&gt;

 I visited Sagalapura College, I saw that grade 1 and 2 classes are 
conducted together as a single class, this was the same with grade 5 and
 6 as well. Computer technology is not a dream for a school with a 
deficiency of teachers, we, not only provide computer facilities but 
also hope to conduct a series of events for teachers with the aim of 
providing them with basic knowledge on the subject. In this process, 
brothers and sisters who are undergraduates and willing to contribute 
are welcome to participate to make this effort a success.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

 may not be able to contribute financially, still, spreading the word to
 an able friend or an institute is also considered to be a contribution 
that can be very easily done. We are happy to announce that we are 
willing to help schools as this in future as well.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
පාසලේ නම තමයි &lt;strong&gt; සාගලපුර විදුහල, බිංගන්තලාව, කඳපොල.&lt;/strong&gt;තේ වතු මැදින් ඉතා දුශ්කර ගමනකයන්න වෙනව මේ පාසලට. බස් එකක් නම් දැක්කෙ නැ මම යද්දි නම්. කොහොම උනත් අප්‍රේල් මාසය වන විට පරිගණක 4 හො 5ක් දෙන්න තමයි සූදානම.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Many of our user were eagerly waiting for the 64-bit release, and we 
apologize for the delay in release. We hate to keep our community 
waiting but unavoidable technical challenges kept us from releasing this

the mirror servers.&lt;br /&gt;

capacity, 50GB of Disk Space and root access to build next, release of 
Hanthana Linux. We will use this server only for build purpose.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

Preparations are underway for the release of &lt;b&gt;Hanthana Linux x86_64&lt;/b&gt;, and it will be available to download next week.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We had to delay the release of due to the issues we had with 
uploading the locally build ISO to our hosting service providers. We 
have plans to deploy a cloud build system for all Hanthana Linux 
products and we welcome anyone who can provide us with the necessary 
facilities or sponsorship.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Also we would like to make this an opportunity to thanks all the

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Berlin, August 8, 2012 - The Document Foundation announces LibreOffice 
3.6, the fourth major release of the best free office suite ever, which 
provides a large number of new features and incremental improvement over
 the previous versions. Innovations range from invisible features such 
as improved performance and interoperability to the more visible ones 
such as user interface tweaks, where theming has improved to more 
closely match current design best-practice. A full list with screenshots
 is available here: &lt;a href="http://www.libreoffice.org/download/3-6-new-features-and-fixes" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.libreoffice.org/dow&lt;wbr&gt;&lt;/wbr&gt;nload/3-6-new-features-and-fix&lt;wbr&gt;&lt;/wbr&gt;es&lt;/a&gt;, because a picture says more than a thousand words.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wherever you look you see improvements: a new CorelDRAW importer, 
integration with Alfresco via the CMIS protocol and limited SharePoint 
integration, color-scales and data-bars in spreadsheet cells, PDF export
 watermarking, improved auto-format function for tables in text 
documents,, high quality image scaling, Microsoft SmartArt import for 
text documents, and improved CSV handling. In addition, there is a lot 
of contributions from the design team: a cleaner look, especially on 
Windows PCs, beautiful new presentation master pages, and a new splash 
screen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
LibreOffice is becoming increasingly popular in corporate environments. 
During the last months, several large public bodies have announced their
 migration to the free office suite: the Capital Region of Denmark, the 
cities of Limerick in Ireland, Grygov in the Czech Republic, Las Palmas 
in Spain, the City of Largo in Florida, the municipality of 
Pilea-Hortiatis in Greece, and the Public Library System of Chicago.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dave Richards of the City of Largo has commented about the new release 
on his blog: "I have been testing LibreOffice 3.6 and am happy to see 
the progress. At this time all of our showstoppers are fixed and we 
probably will upgrade almost immediately when it's released. Nice work. 
CMIS is shaping up nicely. I'll be looking at 3.7 when it appears in the
 daily builds".&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In France, the MIMO Working Group - the ministries of Agriculture, 
Culture and Communication, Defence, Education, Energy, Finance Interior 
and Justice - with a total of 500.000 end users, has certified 
LibreOffice for deployment on every desktop. At the same time, the OSB 
Alliance joined the efforts of German and Swiss cities and communities 
sponsoring development on the LibreOffice codebase.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporate users are joining consumers who quickly switched to 
LibreOffice. Giorgio Buccellati, Professor Emeritus of History and Near 
Eastern Languages at UCLA (University of California at Los Angeles), 
says: "LibreOffice is wonderful software. I am an avid user of the 
Hybrid PDF feature, which allows to exchange PDF files with all other 
users while preserving the possibility of editing the same document like
 a native file".&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
LibreOffice 3.6 has been developed by the growing community of hackers 
gathered around The Document Foundation, thanks to a friendly and 
welcoming environment, and the compelling Free Software ethos. The 
community has surpassed the threshold of five hundred developers 
providing new features and patches since the announcement of the project
 on September 28, 2010.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to Ohloh, LibreOffice is the third largest developer community
 focusing on free software applications, after Google Chrome and Mozilla
 Firefox, and the largest to be independent from a single corporate 
sponsor. This result has been achieved in less than two years, and is 
now a benchmark for free software projects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Document Foundation invites power users, able to help iron out any 
final wrinkles, to read the release notes carefully, install LibreOffice
 3.6.0, and report any problems. &amp;nbsp;More conservative users should stick 
with LibreOffice 3.5. Corporate users are strongly advised to deploy 
LibreOffice with the backing of professional support, from a company 
able to assist with migration, end user training, support and 
maintenance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
LibreOffice 3.6 is available from: &lt;a href="http://www.libreoffice.org/download/" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.libreoffice.org/dow&lt;wbr&gt;&lt;/wbr&gt;nload/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Invest a few moments of your precious time to see the feedback and opinions of the students, teaches and parents when &lt;a href="http://www.hanthana.org/" title="Hanthana Linux Project"&gt;Hanthana&lt;/a&gt; was provided for them for the very first time...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Q7wBwyTRlRA/T17aFFZgljI/AAAAAAAABOw/Ak1Ncm--h9s/s1600/HanthanaSchoolLabs01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="151" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Q7wBwyTRlRA/T17aFFZgljI/AAAAAAAABOw/Ak1Ncm--h9s/s400/HanthanaSchoolLabs01.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Proving the saying “Only the Best for the children”, Hanthana Linux was introduced to the school children of the Malalgoda Siriseewali Primary school which is located in the Habaraadoowa Educational zone of the Imadhoowa Provincial Council within the Galle District, on the 30th of January 2012.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;This school had been closed down for around one year and was re opened on the 16th of January 2012 under the 1000 Schools initiative. The school comprises of 15 students, Grade 1 class teacher, an English teacher and the principal.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The opening was made possible entirely due to the work done by the locals and the parents, the majority of whom are estate workers and private sector employees. Another special point to highlight here is that a family, who’s father is a labourer and the mother employed as a house keeper abroad, donated the PC which was worth about 12000/- Rupees. Upon inquiring from the mother, she said that had her child had to go to another school (due to this school being closed down), they will have to spend 1200/- a month for three wheeler charges and it totals out to around 12000/- a year and rather than spending that amount just for travelling, she’s happy to spend it on a PC for her child as well as other children for the their education.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Far thinking parents of this schools, such as her, were instrumental in getting Hanthana Linux installed and help the primary education. Also need to highlight that other parents who labour during the day, spend sleepless nights dedicated on maintaining and repairing the school buildings and equipment. These villages personify “lead by example” from the sacrifices they make to educate their children.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;On the first day Hanthana was used for the primary education several things of note took place. As there was only one PC, the multimedia projector of the Habaraaduwa Educational Zone Office was used in the class to illustrate the theories for the various subjects using the Educational Software Packages that comes with Hanthana Linux. Especially the “Identifying Colours” lesson. In contrast to other occasions, the children partook the lesson most enthusiastically and constantly requested their teacher to allow them to use these software by themselves. This bought many a happy tear to the eyes of the Director of Education for the Habaradoowa Educational Zone, who attended the occasion, as well to the principal and the parents who were present.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;“I’m hungry.. I’m hungry...” the lunch time grumble that comes up everyday were not be heard on this day as the kids were so engrossed with computer aided lessons.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;iframe frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/zTN-6e0Sa_Q" width="560"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The teachers agreed that teaching subject concepts and theory using the educational software were extremely easy as opposed to other methods. Also even after the school time was over the children were still in class on this day.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;As the students are the focal point in the educational system within the school, a single PC and multimedia projector is hardly sufficient. There should be at least a PC for every four students for this to properly work out. In areas such as these where the majority of the people are low income earners, the parents hardly has the capability to sponsor the required number of PCs and equipment. External sponsorship is highly important for cases like these.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;A qualitative school education system helps the whole nation to grow. Therefore the Hanthana Community is committed to the task of building the school IT education using Hanthana Linux through the &lt;a href="http://school.hanthana.org/" target="_blank" title="Hanthana School Labs Project"&gt;Hanthana School Labs Project&lt;/a&gt;.We hope that you’ll join us.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Come lets pave the way for these children to Sign in to the future...&lt;br /&gt;

Successful vendor-neutral development model to provide the best free office suite&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Berlin, February 1st, 2012 - The Document Foundation (TDF) today announces that it will base its community-driven entity in Berlin, in the legal form of a German Stiftung. This kind of structure is recognized worldwide as a legally stable, safe and long term entity, providing the ideal cornerstone for the long term growth of the community and its software.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"For the first time in 12 years, the development of the free office suite finally takes place within an entity that not only perfectly fits the values and ideals of the worldwide community, but also has this very same community driving it. The future home of the best free office suite is built and shaped by everyone who decides to participate and join. And the best is: Everyone can contribute and is invited to do so, to further strenghten the free office ecosystem", says Florian Effenberger, Chairman of the Board at TDF.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Charles-H. Schulz, one of the founders and a member of the Board of Directors, adds: "Berlin is the icon of reunification and unity, and as such is the ideal home of our global community, aggregated around the objective of creating the best free office suite ever. We expect to be legally established during the next weeks, as soon as the last details of the formal process have been finished."&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"After many months of work in close cooperation with the authorities, we were able to keep the spirit of the community bylaws, and incorporate them into legally binding statutes, that ensure the promises that TDF has made in its manifesto", says Michael (Mike) Schinagl, a Berlin-based lawyer and contributor to various free software projects, who has been driving the legal aspects of the foundation set-up from the very beginning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In addition, TDF currently publically discusses ways for local entities to join and participate, and operative entities are currently being created to carry on special projects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Founder of the Stiftung will be the German nonprofit association Freies Office Deutschland e.V., formerly OpenOffice.org Deutschland e.V., that so far acted as interim legal entity. "We congratulate the community for having achieved this key step, and are proud of having played a key role in setting up The Document Foundation. Our association is looking forward to working closely with the new entity and acting as a gateway between TDF and private as well as enterprise users", says Thomas Krumbein, Chairman of the Board at Freies Office Deutschland e.V.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The LibreOffice project welcomes donations at http://www.libreoffice.org/get-involved/donate/&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The website of TDF can be found at http://www.documentfoundation.org&lt;br /&gt;
The best free office suite, LibreOffice, has its website at http://www.libreoffice.org&lt;br /&gt;
Freies Office Deutschland e.V. host their German homepage at http://www.frodev.org</description><link>http://danishkanavin.blogspot.com/2012/02/tdf-to-base-community-driven-foundation.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Danishka Navin)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2800114261235070536.post-8135923030908982389</guid><pubDate>Wed, 25 Jan 2012 03:37:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2012-01-25T17:48:18.534+05:30</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">හන්තාන</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">ලිනක්ස්</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">download</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">stats</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">linux</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Hanthana</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Sri Lanka</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">FOSS</category><title>Hanthana Linux Download stats from the Sourforge.net</title><description>&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

This marks the fifth release of Hanthana Linux project. &lt;a href="http://blog.hanthana.org/2009/11/17/hanthana-linux-launched/" target="_blank"&gt;First release was on 19th September 2009 in parallel with Software Freedom Day celebrations&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; It is the strong community around Hanthana Linux Project that&amp;nbsp;enabled   us to release the fifth consecutive release. &lt;a href="http://blog.hanthana.org/2011/08/05/linux-empowers-computer-laboratories-at-schools/" target="_blank"&gt;Hanthana 14 (Gagana) is  used in more than 15 schools (more than 500 computers)&lt;/a&gt; in the island and   one being a primary school is of importance. Further, the computer   laboratory with 80 computers at Ruwanpura National College of Education   is facilitated with Hanthana Linux.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt="" src="http://itpro.lk/files/studentshanthana.jpg" style="height: 336px; width: 450px;" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;em&gt;Students of Sri Piyarathana Madya Maha Vidyalaya, Gonigoda using Hanthana Linux for their school activities&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Active forum for Hanthana Linux community and the recently released  Hanthana Community Magazine  play a major role in penetrating  information and knowledge to the  community.&amp;nbsp;More than 2000 Hanthana  Linux DVDs have being deployed around  the island and more than 1000  have participated in practical training  sessions and workshops. More  than 25 computers in several departments of  the National Institute of  Education  are installed with Hanthana Linux and 5 teams have  successfully  completed their practical training. Further, three days  training session  was conducted at the Sri Lanka Navy  base for 35 naval  employees rated to IT with the aim of training them  to do day to day  activities as well as software development using  Hanthana Linux.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://blog.hanthana.org/2011/02/17/minister-of-education-admires/" target="_blank"&gt;ICT Branch of Ministry of Education introduced Hanthana Linux to the public at the Deyata Kitula 2011 exhibition at Monaragala&lt;/a&gt; and at the educational exhibitions at  Southlands College&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"&gt;   and information technology exhibition at Ruwanpura National Institute   of Education (around 500 copies were distributed), public were allowed   to use Hanthana Linux on the site and educated. &lt;/span&gt;Dheeranandha Nanasala&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"&gt; took the initiative as the first Nanasala to introduce Hanthana Linux to rural areas.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Teachers in the Hanthana community are  so  advanced that they conduct practical training sessions not only for   their students but also to fellow teachers including the principal. Sri   Piyarathana Madya Maha Vidyalaya, Gonigoda of Katogasthota Educational   Zone is the best example. &lt;br /&gt;
We recall with great respect the opportunity of having a stall for   free at IFO+ exhibition by the School of Computing University of Colombo   and at the exhibition by the Faculty of Engineering, University of   Ruhuna to spread the word among public. Further, we recall with great   respect, the Ministry of Education, using Hanthana Linux in school   computer laboratories when they first served schools with free and open   source software.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; Bundling of recently introduced &lt;a href="http://www.gnome.org/gnome-3/" target="_blank"&gt;Gnome 3&lt;/a&gt; is special in Hanthana 15.  &amp;nbsp;As you know Hanthana Linux is based on &lt;a href="http://fedoraproject.org/" target="_blank"&gt;Fedora&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and  Hanthana Linux 15 is  based on Fedora 15. But several enhancements than  Fedora have been  introduced in using the desktop, places menu, ability  to shutdown  without any additional key strokes, ability to use themes by  default  are some of them. With this release a user guide for the  desktop and a  keyboard layout for Tamil introduced by ICTA are included.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We are happy to announce that Hanthana Linux project was appreciated at the recently held e-swarnabimani award ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Community pays respect for you who supported us with dedication even among many difficulties.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To build a linux system is an easy task, but to maintain it and to   build a community around is a great challenge. With each and every   challenge we had and have, we grow stronger and we keep moving forward!…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hanthana Linux project may merely viewed as an operating system, but   it is really a project of empowering the community. This enables the   members of the community to improve their knowledge and skills by   contributing back to the project via the elements which are for the   betterment of the community themselves.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We have proved that information technology experts as well as the   ordinary public of the country can contribute to information technology   services. The default wallpaper of Hanthana 14 (Gagana) was from a   professional photographer of Sri Lanka, a teacher serving as a physical   education instructor (PEI) in a school represented Hanthana Linux at  the  recently held information technology exhibition at Karandeniya  Madya  Maha Vidyalaya. He was merely a Hanthana Linux user some time  back but  now, he not only represent Hanthana Linux at community  workshops but  also writes technical articles. Although they do not get  any proper  recognition for their skills and knowledge at their service  places, in  community services, recognition and social praise is  unavoidable.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Users of Hanthana Linux project which is with the sole aim of the   betterment of the community, range from a grade one student to &amp;nbsp;adults.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The next release of Hanthana Linux, Hanthana Linux 16 (Dharani) is scheduled to be released in 2012.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To conclude… Our aim is to educate people in the country about free   and open source software and increase their usage. We are happy to   announce that we hope to improve on this purpose in the year 2012.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tilt/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Tilt&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; is a Firefox addon that lets you visualize any web page in 3D. A new update is available, coming with more developer-oriented features. &lt;a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tilt/" target="_blank"&gt;Try the addon.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To start Tilt hit the CTRL+SHIFT+M or go to Web Developer &amp;gt; Tilt in the tools menu. :)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6hsE8aR3jVY/TsjjIQELOII/AAAAAAAABOE/lUz0mF5b0iU/s1600/Screenshot-21.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="356" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6hsE8aR3jVY/TsjjIQELOII/AAAAAAAABOE/lUz0mF5b0iU/s640/Screenshot-21.png" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since the &lt;a href="http://hacks.mozilla.org/2011/07/tilt-visualize-your-web-page-in-3d/"&gt;first alpha version of Tilt was announced&lt;/a&gt;  (a Firefox extension focused on creating a 3D visualization of a  webpage), a lot of work has been done to add a great number of  developer-oriented features. These focus on debugging the structure of a  webpage, inspecting styling and attributes for each node and seamlessly  refreshing the visualization when the DOM structure changes or after  contents of document are repainted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;object class="BLOGGER-youtube-video" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" data-thumbnail-src="http://0.gvt0.com/vi/rFEiMxOoc_g/0.jpg" height="266" width="320"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/rFEiMxOoc_g&amp;fs=1&amp;source=uds" /&gt;&lt;param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF" /&gt;&lt;embed width="320" height="266"  src="http://www.youtube.com/v/rFEiMxOoc_g&amp;fs=1&amp;source=uds" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Solve nesting problems&lt;/h2&gt;Tilt is useful when searching problems in the HTML structure (like  finding unclosed DIV elements for example) by providing the extra third  dimension, layering each node based on nesting in the DOM tree. Stacks  of elements visually represent branches in the DOM, and each node can be  inspected for the inner HTML contents, its computed CSS style and the  attributes.&lt;br /&gt;
Clicking anywhere on the visualization highlights a color-coded  rectangle surrounding the corresponding node. Double click shows up the  source preview for that node. Tilt also tries to show the most relevant  information when needed (one is most likely to inspect the attributes of  an input, button or image element, for example, but can easily switch  between HTML, CSS and attributes view at any time).&lt;br /&gt;
