[wplug-board] A potential presentation I could do...

[Pat Barron]

In revisiting some work I did some time ago (that turns out to still be 
relevant... ;-) ), I realize I could potentially do a presentation about 
it.  The working title would be, "Deconstructing Mozilla Add-Ons".  It 
would be an overview of some exploration I've done about taking existing 
Mozilla add-ons, taking them apart, changing them around, and putting 
them back together again to use. The thing that got me originally 
looking into this was a previous desire to use older add-ons that had 
become "orphaned", and that later versions of Firefox would not accept 
because it didn't think the add-on was compatible with that version - 
except that they worked just fine, but for the fact that since the 
add-ons no longer had a maintainer, nobody updated the allowed version 
numbers in the manifest....

I can't say that I'm "itching" to do this presentation (though I'm 
certainly happy to if there's specific interest in the topic), but I did 
realize that it's something I've done some work with that others might 
find useful and practical, and I'm glad to present it if we need 
additional programming to flesh out our schedule.
