== Notes ==

* Placed the way Ubiquity worked so that the pblock of commands (i.e., the preview area) now live in content space via an iframe. This solves a major security issue where results from XHRs could potentially include system privileged code.

* We need volunteers to help with CSS tweaks caused by the switch to using the iframe.

* If you are programming a chrome://... URL, please make sure that all dynamic text place in that page that comes from 3rd-party places must be sanatized/escaped. Otherwise we create a security hole. Use Utils.escapeHtml, http://www.hurl.ws/1d72s.

* Memory leaks fixed!

* Lots of code changes. Would like to get out 0.1.7 tomorrow morning, but needs serious testing.

* Zach/indolering produced a mockup for new documentation.  It is essentially copied and restructured from the Enso work and is available here: http://help.indolering.com/wikipedia.html  He will be producing more work and testing it as well.

* Fern is making rapid progress on the Herd now that he has time.  He has basic command submission, tagging, friends, embedding bespin and more in the pipeline for next week.
