}}} The Dragontalk project provides a set of extensions for the [http://www.mozilla.org/ Mozilla] products [http://www.mozilla.com/thunderbird/ Thunderbird] (email client) and [http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/ Firefox] (web browser). One of the goals was to get information about the user's operations. For instance, if the user sends or replies to an email, Dragontalk sends a !SendEmail or a !ReplyToEmail event to some TCP port on localhost where an XMLRPC listener can catch it. For the browser plugin, notifications are sent when browsing the web. In concert with other programs that implement the listener part, we use this to elicit the user's context - see the [http://usercontext.opendfki.de/ User Context] project. Of course the user can disable the plugins at any time. Apart from these event notification plugins, there are Thunderbird plugins that provide other functionality such as mail classification and quick opening of folders using autocompletion. The Dragontalk extensions were developed in the [http://www3.dfki.uni-kl.de/epos/ EPOS] project and are used in the [http://www.dfki.de/mymory Mymory] project, too. == The extensions == === Useful without any external program === * !DragonTalk [wiki:quickopen QuickOpen extension for Thunderbird] - open folders with autocomplete functionality * !DragonTalk [wiki:WebReview WebReview extension for Firefox ] - find visited sites in your history faster and easier === Interacting with external programs === * Event notification - sent information about user actions to an external application * [wiki:Thunderbird_userobs User observation] for Thunderbird * [wiki:Firefox_userobs User observation] for Firefox * [wiki:Mail_classification Mail classification] for Thunderbird - helps moving mails to their appropriate folder using an external classification engine * [source:trunk/dragontalk_tagging_thunderbird Tagging extension] for Thunderbird - used with [http://dev.nepomuk.semanticdesktop.org/ NEPOMUK] and previously [http://www.gnowsis.org/ gnowsis]. * [source:trunk/gnowsisplugin gnowsis plugin] for TB and FF providing a bunch of features (link/browse resource, open mail by id, etc.) for use with [http://www.gnowsis.org/ gnowsis]. == Developer documentation == * DeveloperDocumentation - how to debug plugins using Venkman == Mailing list == We use the usercontext mailing list (usercontext@usercontext.opendfki.de) to discuss dragontalk issues, too.
