[Grub-dev] do we even really need a native client

[Yousef Ourabi]

So, I'm probably going to get blocked by the spam filters at this rate --
and for future reference I apologize to anyone forced to endure my brain
dump.

As I sit here, typing into this gmail inputbox via Firefox after just
finishing my rant on why the client should be written in a dynamic language
-- the thought occurs to me that perhaps the notion of a native client is
very 90's and what we should really be thinking about are browser extensions
that implement the same functionality if not more.

[[ Disclaimer: this is not an original idea, I believe the Heretix folks are
or were up to something similar with the "Monkeys" project if memory serves
correctly ]]

Think of this:
A Firefox plugin that meets current functionally (gets list of URIs, crawls,
creates ARC, puts to grub.org...)
But also (with user consent / warning) registers new urls with the grub
server
