Universal (Web/Wiki) Edit Button   Message List

As you may have heard, movement is afoot to implement an edit button in
web browsers. A Firefox plug-in has been written, and a bunch of wikis
already generate the header tag telling the browser what URL to use to
initiate editing.

See
<http://universaleditbutton.org/Universal_Edit_Button:Community_Portal>
and <http://universaleditbutton.org/Add_The_Link>

Hoping to catch a little publicity on the coattails of Firefox 3, it's
being announced today at noon on TechCrunch and other places. Of course
we're most interested in reaching developers - browser developers, and
developers of wikis and other edit-capable software - to get it
implemented more widely, and sort out any technical issue before a "1.0"
release. So, i'm mailing here to ask you to take a look, and
blog/wiki/del.icio.us/talk/e-mail/tweet about it if you like it. (Smoke
signals and telegrams also welcome.)

Life,
John

p.s. This came out of the last RecentChangesCamp, in Palo Alto in May.

... While the idea may have some merit, the proposed implementation is *bad* and against the semantics of the HTML standard: <link rel="alternate"...
