add to documentation that it doesn't make any network calls at all, unlike similars, preserving privacy, increasing speed, and allowing offline usage
looks like chromium sees a syntax error that isn't there in options.html. must be a weird encoding thing. this results in sometimes failure with setting options.
before 1.0!
consider license change to isc
web:
websummary should show git clone - bug
everything should be gzipped
core:
disable all other scripts - lots of tracking horrors around now, e.g.
h-online and nytimes have things which report back every time you click the mouse.
have left and right padding shrink if in small window
make:
gzip things in web/
chromium:
look at content_security_policy to tighten extension manifest lots
http://code.google.com/chrome/extensions/trunk/manifest.html#content_security_policy
generate appid for use in update xml
see GenerateId in extension.cc of chrome for how it works
gecko:
use rapper and bourne shell script to sign
this is difficult as mozilla wants the signature of a very particular serialisation of the update rdf
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Extension_Versioning,_Update_and_Compatibility#Update_RDF_Format
openssl dgst -sha512 -binary -sign private.pem web/gecko-updates.rdf i'm pretty sure generates the correct signature. however it then has to be encoded, using asn1/der & base64. also, according to the docs only the hash is signed/hashed, whereas it looks like the whole (particularly serialised) rdf is used by uhura
make bootstrappable

this could easily get messy, so might not be worth it.
startup:
- add a resource:// alias so scripts can be referenced
- add simplyread.js and viable.js to all documents
- add a listener to nsIWindowMediator onOpenWindow.
- get this listener to inject simplyread.js and viable.js,
using their resource:// urls into new documents
- add a listener to tab changing, to retrigger viable test
shutdown:
- remove these two from all documents
- remove listeners
- remove any addon bar things
call simplyread() properly, rather than patching it with the preferences stuff
add fennec support - https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Fennec/Extensions
'electrolysis' may require modifications
test (currently outdated):
current tests
test the keyboard shortcut, by sending an event;
e=document.createEvent(...
e.initEvent(...
e.keyCode = ...
document.body.dispatchEvent(e)
window.close directly after logging to the console
make tests for chromium and firefox engines

# wishlist #
gecko:
it would be nice to use the svg icon directly (smaller, faster, neater)
firefox doesn't render the font correctly (can't find bug; test more then report it)
doesn't automatically set the size (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=583231#c31 - may be workaroundable by setting class of the image to toolbarbutton-1)
doesn't work for main addon icon (only toolbar) (can't find bug; test more then report it)
chromium:
it would be nice to use the svg icon directly (smaller, faster, neater)
currently not supported (http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=29683)
get the following error:
[18840:18840:7322270382:ERROR:extension_error_reporter.cc(55)]
Extension error:
Package is invalid. Details: 'Could not decode theme image.'
would be nice to have permission warning reflect the fact that no disk or network activity is done; that this is self-contained and lovely. unfortunately it isn't fine-grained enough, and we need all "tabs" permission to inject the script into any page
