     29== Firefox Plugin ==
     30
     31Implement a plugin for Firefox using the new [https://jetpack.mozillalabs.com/ Jetpack SDK]. This plugin will extend Firefox so that it knows about Tahoe-LAFS caps. It will provide user-friendly and safe gestures to share caps, for example, it will require a different gesture to share a write-cap than to share a read-cap, to prevent people from accidentally sharing a write-cap to a file or directory when they meant to share a read-cap, thus solving one of the major outstanding problems in Tahoe-LAFS user interface (see [http://allmydata.org/pipermail/tahoe-dev/2010-March/004139.html this tahoe-dev mailing list discussion]).
     32
     33It will also provide a fast, pretty, and highly usable browser for exploring and manipulating a Tahoe-LAFS filesystem.
     34
     35It will also provide a re-usable Jetpack component which makes it easy for other plugin developers to add Tahoe-LAFS features to their Firefox plugin.
     36
     37It may also provide more features for Firefox users or developers, which features may be discovered during the course of the summer.
