Hey guys,

I've set up a pastebin for locked-down command feeds here:

   http://ubiquity.mozilla.com/locked-down-feeds/

Basically, this allows you to paste in some JS code, and it'll 
automatically be posted as a locked-down command feed.  It's kind of 
like the gist sharing feature on github, only for locked-down feeds.

The particularly nice thing about locked-down feeds--the upside of all 
the stuff they *can't* do--is that it's pretty harmless to try one out 
that you don't know much about, because it can't really harm your system.

If you're unfamiliar with locked-down feeds, I wrote a bit about them 
back in January:

They're also documented here:

I just wrote a useful locked-down feed here:

   http://ubiquity.mozilla.com/locked-down-feeds/f639e7834

Most of the actual usefulness of this feed is thanks to Datejs, which is 
embedded in the feed itself; it basically provides a "date" command that 
lets you select text like "next tuesday" and get back (via a transparent 
message) what the actual date for that is.

At the moment, these locked-down feeds are only accessible through the 
latest Ubiquity beta release (0.2pre), but support for them will be 
included in 0.1.7, which we hope to get out by Monday.

Anyhow, feel free to take a look at them and play around with them; any 
suggestions for things to add or change are appreciated.
