search plugin excitement

Some buzz around Firefox search plugins from LCLS Labs from Shifted Librarian and Tame The Web.

Incidentally, we have been updating the Firefox extensions on CISTI Lab.
Apologies for the site, it is still very beta, lots of the links don't work yet.
We'll try to get it fixed up a bit better in the new year.

I think the contact form on Lab is working now, if not, please contact me if you have any questions about the site or the extensions.

How does a "build your own Firefox extensions" workshop sound :)
I don't know what venue would be appropriate.  For example, Access 2006 might make sense, but many of the people who attend are already pretty technical, so I don't know how much value it would add for them.
Maybe a hackfest to build extension-builders for each major catalogue type, in the same way Jon Udell's LibraryLookup build-your-own is set up for the major catalogue vendors?

The contributors to LibSuccess: Web Browser Extensions have also tried to provide as much info as possible about library-related extensions, including links to tutorial information.  Please feel free to add your own relevant links to the LibSuccess wiki.
