I've read several of the post about the contextual menu. From previous posts (sept 2008) I understand it was sort of abandonned for the time being. I fail to agree with the arguments presented.
When I first learned about Ubiquity I was absolutely swept away. However, at first it didn't work very well on my computer. Some commands worked. Others did not. Yet I have forgotten it was even there very rapidly. And I forgot to use it even when it could have been handy. This why I think that a contextual menu is very important. I know that a of work was put in the natural language interface and is an amazing achievement. But simplicity is always the hardest to achieve and contextual menu is just that! Additionnally, I think both can work hand in hand. I think that Ubiquity's contextual menu would only need a basic list of mash-up commands (such as translation or mapping). The contextual list could be customized by the user so that it offers the commands he needs the most. I fear that IE 8 with it's "accelerators" or "KallOut" could steal the spotlight from "Ubiquity" that truly deserves better. I think a contextual menu is tantamount to making Ubiquity a tool for the general public. And perhaps also to make Firefox more mainstream as well.
