Official xulsword Firefox Add-On #223

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 2 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
Now, xulsword is really just a Firefox add-on (which includes its own binary 
library to implement the C++ SWORD engine) so it would be great to add it to 
Firefox's official extension service (https://addons.mozilla.org/). Then 
xulsword would become discoverable and made available to the millions of 
Firefox users out there.

Some considerations:
- Different libxulsword libraries need to be compiled for target platforms 
(Windows and Linux are done already). But they are small enough now that all 
these could be put into a single xulsword.xpi Firefox extension. In this way, a 
single extension.xpi would install and work straightaway on most Firefox 
installations.

- This would require some maintenance. Every once in a while, Firefox changes a 
locale file or makes an API change that effects xulsword, and these need to be 
addressed before the extension will work on the latest Firefox. For the past 
year and a half this has happened only a couple times and were easy to update.
