Independent Status ReportsSunday December 7th, 2003 By Brian KingThe status reports are getting busier every week. This is more work for me, but I don't mind because I know that it is a good sign for mozdev.org and the Mozilla community in general. Note: If anyone has an update that they would like included in the next report, go here, or if you have any feedback on the structure of the reports in general, feel free to contact us.

A small version increment but significant updates! Bookmark search, featuring links back to the containing categories, now triggers a new URL, allowing bookmarking and back/forward operations. You can also use a bookmark keyword and the %s technique to create a URL shortcut for bookmark search. This release also features a separate function for serializing bookmarks to RDF in hopes of bootstrapping RDF work outside of Mozilla. The project weblog covers technical travails as well as the latest in research and innovations in personal information management. Check out a recent O'Reilly weblog post about MozWho for more about the project. MozManual — Draft0.8(A manual for first time users — a brief overview and feature guide)
Draft 0.8 is essentially the final version — remaining changes will be additional required error corrections, and internal hyperlinking (bookmarks) in the PDF version. All source materials (StarOffice text and drawing files, and related graphics files) are now posted to the project source page. I have also included a "reviewer's guide" to address FAQs and similar issues. I would like to note that I received numerous helpful comments, corrections, and suggestions from reviewers in the Mozilla community — many thanks!
