Metalink Summer ideas

[Anthony Bryan]

here are 4 ideas or things that could use a little love, gentle tap,
or push in the right direction if anyone has time:

1)
help test wget metalink support https://github.com/jy987321/Wget/tree/metalink
it's using libmetalink & supports Metalink/XML & Metalink/HTTP along
with signature checking

2)
metalink-chrome-extension : Download 100% but still "Downloading"
https://code.google.com/p/metalink-chrome-extension/issues/detail?id=31
"Download should not say 100% until the download has completed."
from what I remember, Google Code is being phased out. maybe now's the
time to move this to github too? it would be great if this chrome
extension worked really well since it's a good way for Chrome users to
try out Metalink, & for us to get closer to native support in Chrome.

3)
curl Metalink/HTTP support, signature checking
now that wget is getting these features, it would be great if curl had them too.
especially Metalink/HTTP, because curl is so widespread & it can be
implemented without the need of an extra library & could be compiled
by default eventually.

4)
DownThemAll! 3.0 final release
this has been a long time work in progress, hopefully it will be
release ready soon!
