Looks nice ... dont know anything like that. My sugestion :
- Use RPC to the ticket stuff and interaction with the Trac instance
- A Firefox plugin is cool, but what about other browsers or
standalone apps ? So ...
- A script (e.g. using `xwininfo` in GNU/Linux or Win32 API through
`ctypes`) would be very useful as well ;o)
Good luck ! ... and pls report progress here. I'm sure you'll have a
lot of users :)
