Bindwood

So, my first project at Canonical is working on a Firefox extension that will sync your bookmarks (and later other Places) to a local CouchDB instance.

I’ve called it Bindwood, borrowing a colorful English nickname for Ivy.

I’ve been collaborating with an English colleague, Stuart Langridge, on the project, and so far, I’m very pleased with what we’ve got working.

Since it’s a Firefox extension, it even works on Mac OS X, which is where I’ve been doing most of my development. It’s currently using some Places APIs that are 3.5 only, which should be fine since we’re targeting Karmic.
