Dan, Why don't you package the Snippets add-on (similar to the googlespell example) so that it can be independently packaged, downloaded, and installed from SF? Your example was one reason I went through the pain of experimenting with the GoogleSpell add-on. If there's missing functionality that needs to be added to DQSD which is generic enough for all searches/add-ons to take advantage of, then it makes sense to add the functionality. _But_, if core functionality is modified to support a single add-on or search, then we're setting a bad precendent. One that will result in DQSD having various chunks of code in the core source which are only used by a single add-on/search. IMO, some of the core code already matches that description (calendar) and should be moved to an add-on. > I've since though of integrating various features into DQSD. > I've done a lot of (unrelated) work with RSS new feeds, and I > have considered adding the feature to DQSD to show a news > ticker during idle time.
