That would be really cool. One comment: don't make updates.rdf a dynamically generated feed because the cpu overhead will be enormous (think millions of firefox installations hitting hundreds of mozdev projects periodically for updates). Instead, create a wizard-like webpage (or pages) that the project-owners uses to automatically generate the update.rdf file. Simply uploading a new XPI to /downloads won't generate a new update.rdf--the project owners has to re-run the wizard. _______________________________________________ Project_owners mailing list [email protected] https://www.mozdev.org/mailman/listinfo/project_owners
