Kui

This is a wiki page for the KUI Labs project.

Ignore everything below. I am writing two lines at a time. So, it will take a while before it is organized and readable. Maybe, next week.

Important notes

• I think it is important to work together on the same thing. This should be the KUI Labs project as it has the necessary resources. Hence, we should work on the same extension and share code using the repository.

• Different people have already implemented a lot of things that would be necessary in this extension.

• The goal is to work on a single extension that would be ready to promote during the launch of Firefox 3. Hence, we hopefully should work fast.

• As Alex said, a Labs extension can have different UIs. So, the base functionality should be worked on more for now.

Features

Compiled from the sources listed below in the Initial ideas section

• History and bookmark searching
• Tab viewing and switching
• Search engine and popular website searches
• Control Extension
• Semantic web features on the current page (including tagging and identifying microformats; also being able to identify the content of the webpage as described here: )

Semantic web comprises a huge set of features. We should focus on a few first like microformats.
