MozCC Development: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 22:45, 24 March 2008

MozCC is written using Javascript and XUL. The source repository is hosted in the mozcc2 module at code.creativecommons.org.

Planned Features

MozCC NG

Split extraction and presentation into two, decoupled extensions.
Define a communication mechanism between the two (events?) that others can emulate
Distribute as an XPI Bundle
Stability and performance for the "core" extension
Culling policy for triple cache

Learn from Operator:
- Namespace pollution (reducing)
- Extractor loading

MozCC 2.4.x

(may get rolled into 2.6)

Support for Flock (post 0.7.x)

MozCC 2.6

Restructure code to wrap all the functionality in a single object (to prevent namespace collisions)
Support for licensing of embedded objects (images, etc).
Support for i18n

Notes/Links

http://blog.mozilla.com/faaborg/2007/02/04/microformats-part-4-the-user-interface-of-microformat-detection/ Ideas on exposing embedded metadata in the UI

Future Directions

Personal Metadata Store: allow users to browse metadata collected by MozCC ("show me the pages i've browsed tagged with 'foo'")

Other Firefox Extension Points

Scrapbook -- license information should travel with scraped content

Other "S"-Web Tools
