Tiffany,

Sorry for the delay. Out of town today.

Here is my wiki (http://sites.google.com/site/watironopensolaris/Home)
documenting
my work on porting Watir to OpenSolaris with specific experience
report wiki
(http://sites.google.com/site/watironopensolaris/Home/watir-on-
opensolaris/experiencecompilingopensolarisonvirtualbox)

Summary:
 - GOAL: Needed to get JSSH to work inside Foxfire on OpenSolaris.
    -- Downloaded/Compiled/Installed Foxfire on OpenSolaris over
VirtualBox.
    -- Fixed build script (2 files) to get XPI file. Then installed it
inside Foxfire.
    -- Followed Watir wiki instruction to try new version of JSSH. Did
not work for me.
    -- Expected next step was to learn how to debug Firefox extensions
in detail.
    -- Also expected to get the Linux and Mac version of JSSH and
compare to
        original 2005 version. Then put my lessons (code) into Google
Code/Github/somewhere.
 - Went to AWTA and did 5-minute talk on this work. No one appeared to
need it.
    Then joined Dave Hoover's multiple browser support discussion with
with my question
    of the future of JSSH. Volunteered to put JSSH under a separate
Google Code
    project, but it appears that others wanted to get a new "JSSH"
solution
    instead of combining/merging the different versions (MS, Firefox,
MAC, Linux,
    OpenSolaris, etc) of JSSH under Google Code, so I decided to stop
until the
    community decides what the new "JSSH" layer will be.
