The dropped extensions sidebar api
trappedIntoCode
experimental sidebar api.
Can I get the last revision no from somewhere, before the code was
removed?

looks like the most recent Linux build with the API. That should be a
good start for your experimentations. I wouldn't recommend running it
as your main browser though, for a variety of reasons

The sidebar directory disappears after 77159.
My requirement is for Windows, so I will eventually checkout something
around chrome 10.x.x.x,
study the patch and try to see if I can mod it for current trunk. I
also want it to persist across tabs.
Similar to FF sidebar.
I wonder if source tree has gone through changes that will totally
make the old patches useless.
Thanks again

That's very likely. Since then the "chrome" module has been
refactored into "content" and "chrome".

thanks. So I will have to take ideas from old code, style/api guide
from something like infobars and work my way.

want to check whether the patch will be accepted before you go to too
much trouble. (I suspect that there's a strong chance that the patch
won't be accepted, by the way.)
If you're not planning to contribute your patch back to trunk, there's
no need to worry about such things, of course.

but I gathered
from the previous code reviews and issues, sidebar is on much low
priority, UI team
had some objections on design and there wasn't an active committer
working on it ..
so it was taken down, I may be wrong.
I am working on this for a client who absolutely needs a sidebar on
chrome on Windows,
so I will be doing it anyway.
I will try and submit if there is any chance, or if I come up with "a
cool demo
that wins the team over."
(demo bit reference: https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/group/chromium-dev/msg/7d42fbbf8eedc483)
Thanks.

from beginning to increase
the chances of getting patch accepted?

https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/group/chromium-dev/msg/7d42fbbf8eedc483
is probably pretty reasonable.
It's hard to find folks who've become successful members of the
community by starting out implementing a big new feature. Folks tend
to be more successful when they start by fixing bugs, becoming
familiar with the codebase and the community, and then start to
understand/influence the direction of the project.
For sidebars, in particular, my understanding is that we removed them
from the product because we neither liked the way the code was written
nor the user experience of sidebars themselves. From the starting
point, it unlikely that the project would accept a new sidebar
implementation without both significant changes in the implementation
and the user experience.

I will try submitting a patch anyway if/when I get it working.
Hopefully we will find a way
to work on design and standards to make it acceptable. Chrome IS
probably
the only browser without persistent sidebar support, and there are
many application of it
for social and collaborative extensions. For me, it will not be wasted
efforts, I have to work on it
anyway.
Thanks.
