Greg,

welcome!

Daniel has tinkered with Chrome extensions (we believe this is what you
mean). The base line is that you can use a stock qooxdoo 'gui' skeleton
to start off. You need to add a Chrome manifest file by hand, though.
Otherwise, you just edit the skeleton to your heart's content, then run
'generate.py build', and open the ensuing 'build' subdirectory in
Chrome's developer mode. That should be it! Make modifications in the
'source' tree and cycle.

Let us know how you fare.
