doIt Plugin

I've been thinking about developing Firefox and or Thunderbird plugins
to allow doIt's from these applications.
Here's how I want it to work:
- I select some code in an email I am reading
- I right click and chose print it
- If multiple images are running, a pop-up allows you to chose
- A workspace is opened in the image with the selection in it
- In the workspace the selection is evaluated and printed
- The result is also displayed in a window in the browser
This may seem a bit pointless, but the goal is to facilitate
interaction. Once this is working, features could include:
- File in
- Browse menus (e.g. implemenators / senders)
- Do it, debug it, print it, time it, etc
- ?
And, maybe going the other way (although these can probably be done now
using protocol handlers):
- Email it
- Search for it
- Google
- Squeak-Dev
- Seaside-Dev
What do people think of this idea? Has something been done like this
before? Any suggestions how I do it? Anyone interested in working on this?
I haven't done any FF/TB plugin development before. I think it would be
pretty straight forward to provide a web service on the squeak side. Not
sure how best to do multiple image switching.
Thanks,
Zulq.
