More Bad English, Please

I’d like to see more bad English on mailing lists, and fewer apologies from non-native speakers about their poor English skills. There’s nothing to be ashamed of in trying to communicate in a second, third, or fourth language and not being an expert.

Mozilla Labs’ Contacts Add-On Prototype Shows Promise

Mozilla Labs continues to explore innovative new spins on messaging, with recent upgrades to the Thunderbird e-mail project, and continuing development of the promising Mozilla Raindrop project , Raindrop aims to sift and sort views of messaging flows from both e-mail and social network sources. In conjunction with these messaging efforts, Mozilla Labs is also out with a new Contacts browser add-on that manages your contacts from many sources, manages access permissions, and more. The prototype of the Contacts add-on includes: * A browser-based Contacts database that stays in sync with your address books (so far, it supports only GMail, Twitter and Mac OS Address book but Mozilla is planning on adding more address book types over time)     * A generic importer system for Contacts from desktop or web-based address books (so you can implement missing ones)     * An email autocompletion feature, which demonstrates how the browser can auto-complete email addresses on any website.
