I'm thinking we really should have a mozdev project for useful XUL widgets, written in XBL. Somewhat like JSLib, but for XUL.
I've put out several widgets before, and I continue to work on new ideas.
Who else wants a bigger toolkit? I've got so many ideas, easy to do in XBL, for additional bindings. Who has their own custom widgets to contribute?
P.S. The Open Source Convention is a blast.

That sound great, do you have it hosted somewhere?
I think this is definitally something we should be posting to a wiki (KB.mozillazine.org or DevMoz).
I would love to see a comprehensive list of user created XUL widgents.
(From Alex: I'm seriously considering having my serverpost.mozdev.org site reorganized and renamed to host XUL widgets in general. Serverpost is good, but it's a waste of space for one widget.)
Posted by: Jed at August 3, 2005 6:17 PMSuch a project was started a looooong time ago, but never quite got wings:
http://snippets.mozdev.org/
The widget is part of my Location Navigator extension. It is hosted at http://urlnav.mozdev.org
If it was going to be hosted somewhere else, I would need to make it more generic since it has code in it specific to that extension. I'm willing to do that if people are interested though.
