Progress on Projects | overstimulate

This weekend saw forward progress on several of projects. The progress wasn't less than I hoped for but I was limited by back and wrist pain.

Userscripts.org got a bunch of spam removed, and I integrated uservoice.com's feedback service. Hopefully this will help with prioritization of what the users want most. I debated using Get Satisfaction but they do much more than just idea collection and voting - solving more problems than I have and resulting in a consuming UI (in my opinion).

I brainstormed with Ian about syncing for Taboo and UI cleanup. Then Jake Dahn pinged me that he had knew how to fix a bug with middle clicking not working (seems that gecko doesn't like middle click on a span only an anchor tag). I have been trying persuade him to contribute to open source for a while (since I was at Flock), so seeing his first push to github is awesome.

Book Burro, unfortunately didn't get as much time as I was hoping. A major rework of the extension is done, waiting on Librarius to be published. Librarius is a catalog of libraries that can be used by Book Burro or a new version of Library Lookup. I'm specifically aiming to fix the problem we hit last time, "the accuracy of those lists has decayed over time, and I'm not able to maintain them."

Nice to here you work on some nice features for Taboo. I like to thank you first for your afford you put into it. The idea to sync taboo in anyway would be great. Do the point that I use a local Installed FF2.x(PortableApplication) and a FF3pre (full install) and and additional FF on a Notebook as well as a PortableApplication Format FF2 on an USB stick it would be great to have some way to sync the Taboo database or maybe an Backup function with import/export functionality will first do it. I also would like the ScrapBook extension and Taboo may have some development knowlage and code exchange. Maybe Taboo can access the scrapbook database and provide calender grid view for it. In the other direction maybe scrapbook can have a/some folder to show Taboo entries in a kind of directory-tree with the option of having archived and up to date Taboo entries. Also ScrapBook have a backup/sync function. ...just a idea.

OH! I forgot something... how about opening the grid/calendar view of Taboo in the sidebar? I think this could be useful for faster UI experience and user handling.
