Microsummary w/ Script
Doug Turner
During the FF Summit, i was working a bit with Myk on a pet feature of
mine. The short summary is that I want the ability to create a
notification when a microsummary matches some given regexp.
The longer summary is this. A few years ago, i was playing around with
notifications based on web content. For example, when CNN or BBC news
had something news breaking, I would want to detect that and display a
window or some other notification. This work was called newsAlert and
was hosted here: http://newsalert.mozdev.org/
I see a bunch of overlap between that stuff and Myk's Microsummaries.
The main functional difference is that in Microsummaries, there is no
current way to "do" anything during an update of the transformation.
Based on this need, i created a patch that will allow script to run in a
sandbox during the update of a microsummary. If you are interested in
this feature, lets discuss it over in the bug:
