Hi Rich,

First, THANK YOU. The team reads this group and loves any and all
praise. We all use the extension ourselves and find it just as
invaluable as you do.

Second, we have a FF3 version of the extension that is built on top
of the next version of Delicious. Unfortunately, as that version is
not yet released, the extension is useless outside our corporate
network. We will release it as soon as we possibly can, as the
extension is just about ready now, we're just waiting on the general
Delicious release.

Third- we're almost done. I wish I could give it to you but we have
to wait for the rest of the team to catch up. :)

Fourth- as part of the general Delicious revamp we have created a
forum based on Vanilla, an open source forum package. So we totally
agree with you. You'll be able to login with your Delicious ID, and
there won't be any more need to sign up for another service to
participate. So anyway, we heartily agree.

Nick

PS- the dots are optional, you can type "delicious.com" and it will
forward you on. Shortly, the dots will disappear from our domain,
though people who prefer the old domain can continue to type it.
