Project Name

D-Bus and other Linux desktop integration improvements

Project Description

Various Linux distributors have patches in their Firefox packages that add bits and pieces of Linux integration, and we'd like to see even more available. One particular area of interest is controlling the browser via d-bus, and exposing dbus events to the application and extensions.

Introduction to D-Bus:

Man and Mohamed are setting up a server to compile our work on. We're reading and playing around with some D-Bus client/server stuff before we try to find where it fits in Mozilla. Slow start so far. =(

September 15th, 2006

Today Man Choi Kwan and Mohamed Attar joined this project. We're just getting introduced to this topic and will be doing some research over the weekend.

To Do:

  • Ensure all group members have a machine they can run linux on with X11.
  • Research on D-Bus. Get some code and research to share with the group.
  • Find some Mozilla/Linux Gurus to bother. =P
