Federated Social Web Summit
I’m in Portland today and taking part in the Federated Social Web Summit, before attending OSCON for the next week. Today is so far packed with lighting presentations from all sorts of companies, projects and protocols in the space to bring us all up to speed. After lunch we’re going to all be discussing and looking at how we can put together all the building blocks and bring to life this concept of a federated social web. Here are my (long) notes on all the projects etc from the morning:
Apologies to any names I’ve misspelled, product names I’ve left out, etc.
Account Manager Spec
Mozilla’s spec for the new Account Manager addition that’s coming to Firefox 4
XUL
XUL reference at the Mozilla developer center. Very handy for developing Firefox extensions.
Minimo project page
Mobile browser using the Mozilla engine (a la FireFox) for Windows Mobile devices.
CSS2 Selectors
I am using CSS2 selectors in the style sheet for the new Dented Reality website to try and avoid some of the problems in layout/sizing that I was having between Mozilla (Netscape), Opera and IE6. I haven’t tested on IE5.x yet, but according to some of the “css hack” sites I have been looking at, I will need to include another hack to make it work on that.
So far, so good.
This whole site is now presented using XHTML and CSS, with no (layout) tables at all. If you view the source, you will see that the code is quite clean as well – I have laid out the source in a manner which makes it more friendly to people using text-only browsers like Lynx, or to people with no style sheet support in general. I have put the content first, and then worked from there, towards the less-important navigation elements etc.
