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.
