I apologize if this has already been discussed before, but I think it would be really cool if Gears eventually had a simplistic add-on/ extensions system. Maybe something as simple as a JavaScript based scripting mechanism by which you could hook into certain events, etc...
Although this might sound weird to have an add-on system for something which is already a browser add-on itself, here's my thinking on this: If Gears had its own add-on system that was powerful enough... rather than developers having to make extensions for Firefox and add-ons for IE and concern themselves with the OS the browser may be running on... and rather than Chrome needing to implement yet another add-on mechanism for developers to focus on... since Gears is already available for a bunch of browsers on a bunch of OSes... creating an add-on system for Gears would instantly give developers a way to create browser add-ons for different browsers and different operating systems simultaneously with one API. Thoughts?
