Ubiquity 0.5 shows surprising signs of life
Mozilla made their position on Ubiquity quite clear recently ("back burner"), and only made the 0.1 branch compatible with Firefox 3.6. However, the reason that I've switched metaphors on you (quiet death versus childbirth) is that now, a user (dare I say, a community hero) by the name of Satyr has stepped up to the plate and taken on the task of maintaining Ubiquity 0.5x (the "beta branch") for Firefox 3.6 and up. He is currently distributing his version via a direct link to bitbucket.org. Jono Xia has also written a post in the Ubiquity blog backing Satyr up, so this is apparently the real deal.
This is great news, because it means there is still hope for Ubiquity. Good ideas don't die so fast -- and neither do implementations, as it turns out.
