- Irakli got hacking at the Firefox work week in Toronto this week and added SDK support to Firefox’s Scratchpad editor via his ‘Scratch-kit’ add-on.

- Irakli posted his ‘Spring Cleaning’ list of things to address in the SDK in order to move forward with project plans. If you’re a module developer, please read over these and provide feedback in the mailing list as there are some changes that may break your code.
