Nvu progress 20041118

I should sleep at night: I have a running Nvu 0.50+ based on Firefox 1.0 sourceball with perfectly working extensions/themes manager. So if you plan to extend Nvu for your own needs or just for fun, get ready, the time has come... I still have a few things to fix/remove/modify: the download manager for instance makes no sense in Nvu but I get it automatically from an overlay; the profile switcher may also be out of scope, we'll see; and the contributed Help viewer just stopped working with that build.
Oh, and the Nvu mirror at glazman.org/nvu/releases is back. For the moment.

Est-ce que ça veut dire que Nvu sera disponible en tant qu'extension de Firefox ?
Thats really good news. Extensions, Themes, etc. in Nvu. The steam will be generated by Nvu from now till it takes off at 1.0.
Download Manager: I agree that its of "almost" no use. I say almost because it could log the uploads and downloads done by Nvu. Thus it can serve as a gui for the site manager progress. (not sure if progress is shown in site manager, but if not DM can be used for that).
Profile Manager: Could it go the same way as it went in Firefox? Where they assume that it is for developers/testers and not for normal user's user.
ah and for Help -> we are lucky that RJKeller has just recovered from a food poisoning

You seems to be the last hero who can save the humani... errr, the TxMgr API.
Use the fork() luke !
damn cool.
Does it mean that some day there will be a choice of extensions for Nvu (just like FF has), or that Nvu itself will be an extension of FF ?
a numb reader
That's cooool
I'm sure we're gonna have lots of extensions, like in Eclipse or Visual Studio, since XUL/JS is *much* easier to design "add-ins".
I was thinking (please don't laugh), may be you could use XPI for some extra features (like DW templates), in order to open the development to a wider scope of developers ?
