+To get started, you may want to first take a look at the built-in commands and built-in noun types, which are in the files:
-Note: There is no need for you to keep on rebuilding your Extension after the first time. The changes to the manage.py built Extension are updated whenever you save updates to the source files and restart Firefox.
+   ubiquity/chrome/content/builtincmds.js
+   ubiquity/chrome/content/nlparser/en/nountypes.js
+These files are dynamically loaded, so if you make any changes to them, all you have to do is save the file, then go back to Firefox and hit alt-space to bring up Ubiquity again.  Your changes will be reflected immediately.  There's no need to rebuild your extension or restart Firefox.
+If you make changes to other files -- parts of the core, such as the parser, that are not dynamically loaded -- you will have to restart Firefox.  Even in this case, there is no need for you to keep on rebuilding your extension.  Once you've run python manage.py for the first time to install the extension, as described above, you shouldn't need to run it again.  Just save the source file and restart Firefox and whatever changes you've made will be reflected in Ubiquity.
