Labs/Ubiquity/Nouns

We have very few nouns at the moment. But, nouns are going to be extremely important in the future. So, if you want to help with Ubiquity, write nouns! You can learn how to do that here.

Core Nouns

• noun_type_contact -- currently matches gmail contacts
• noun_arb_text -- matches any text
• noun_type_date -- parses dates, using DateJS goodness so you can use things like "today" or "next week" :)
• noun_type_percentage -- a percentage value, eg. 85%
• noun_type_address -- currently a basic address matcher - needs more work
• noun_type_language -- matches a subset of about 20 or so language names (in English), eg. Greek or German, for use with translate verb
• noun_type_tab -- used to list/match open browser tabs
• noun_type_searchengine -- matches installed search engines
• noun_type_tag -- tagging service, although not sure what?

Contributed Nouns
