I think I understood. It something like the YSlow extension, but instead of analyzing potential performance problems, it will analyze potential security problems. Something like showing warnings when you're using window.eval(), or loading resources from non-secure protocols (http instead of https), and so on. Like that? This seems to be a very nice idea. > I was originally working on the Bespin Mozilla Project,but due to > School I have sort of stepped back from developing with them.

Sure. Being member of a open source project consumes a lot of time, and we simply can't help all projects with love. > I'd love to develop the Lite with you guys,but I am really interested > in building security features either in my own widget or into Lite > itself. Cool. I mentioned also the possibility of creating a Firebug Lite extension because it is something easy to achieve, and it has some benefits: - the extension will be promoted to Firebug Lite users. There will be an option in the User Interface to enable the extension on-the-fly, and also the extension will be listed in our extension gallery (at getfirebug.com). - when Firebug Lite get updates and/or new versions, the extension will automatically receive these fixes and/or improvements. - if the extension developer needs some adjustments in the Firebug Lite code (like add some new hook, or fix some bug), this can be easily accomplished by the close communication with the Firebug Lite team. And as in the extension model used by Firebug extensions, the extension source code and distribution can be hosted in your own server, or in the of your choice (github, googlecode, etc), and the extension code will be maintained only by you. Just an idea. The decision is entirely yours. regards, Pedro Simonetti. > > Thanks for welcoming me and inviting me to join the efforts of the > project.
