Here is a blog post I wrote August of last year about piping / command- chaining:
http://jonoscript.wordpress.com/2008/08/27/plumbing-and-the-magic-word-it/ So as you can see, we've been thinking about this for a long time. (The blog post describes a preliminary piping feature that I snuck, undocumented, into Ubiquity 0.1, but unfortunately that feature has been broken since then by changes to the parser.) As Mitcho said, though, our first priority right now is internationalization, and natural-language pipes are going to be difficult to internationalize. So I think we're going to try to get the i18n work mostly done and then revisit the pipes idea and figure out how they will work in the grammars of the languages we support. I'm now working on a roadmap document for future Ubiquity releases. Pipes will feature prominently. When I'm done I'll post a link here. --Jono, Mozilla Labs On Jun 16, 8:25 am, bastiano <[email protected]> wrote: > One time I could pipe Twitter status command with the Tiny url > command.
