I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of Weave. And while it may have been asked already, I am wondering if this principle is being applied to Thunderbird as well?

Please please keep us posted… Google browser sync (GBS) will be dead starting 6th of january…

As this (weave) might take some time (if it comes at all: did anybody find another “full” alternative to GBS?

I agree with older bud. They can add all the features they want but if we can’t use it because of server issues who cares? This could be a great offering-can’t someone write a coupla sentences once a month and tell us what is happening?

any news? when do you acept new users?

Indeed, its a bit dissapointing that there hasn’t been any updates regrarding Weave in the past couple of weeks. I haven’t been able to login, and the forums have been down, and not a peep from anyone at Mozilla Labs. What’s going on over there? Have you guys abandoned us?

what’s the status? supposed to be out last friday!

@cbeard

With all sincerity… Thanks! For those of use that have several platforms that we use regularly (I switch between several OpenSolaris, Linux, Windows, and OS/X machines in the course of my work) this project is the best thing since sliced bread, IMHO.

@gagendel: there will definitely be support for operating your own server. the new version adds a couple new server-side components, in particular, to enable sharing but those are optional. regardless they will be open source and available.

while mozilla doesn’t officially support opensolaris, i suspect that the new version will work but will require a recompilation of the new binary component that implements encryption. the current version relies upon openssl and we’re deprecating that.

in terms of when the new version will be ready, the best i can say is “real soon now” so stay tuned. we’re as eager as anyone to get this update push out!

Questions:

1) What’s the status of the update? the 20th has come and gone.
2) Will OpenSolaris be supported? The last time it failed login because encryption wasn’t supported.
3) Will there be documentation on setting up a local server for Weave?

I’d like to really bang on Weave and give feedback, but the service has either been down or it fails to let me log in.

Thanks.

Is it still going to be released today, or has it been delayed? Not trying to rush you guys, I’d just like to know when so I can plan on updating it and the settings on all the computers I’m using it on. Thanks

Personized Firefox is important!
But making personized Firefox everywhere will be more important! I want the same personized firefox in both my PC and my notebook!

Bookmarks synchronization is far from enough!!!
I eagerly need addons synchronization, which would synchronize all my addons. For example, after my notebook install a new add-on, firefox in my PC should be able to download the same add-on, and set the same preference, and do the same work!

You guys are great! I think you can do it!

As GBS is dead and I’m wanting to upgrade to FF3, I ‘need’ cookie and password sync. I’m very much looking forward to this update.

Thanks!

Will be trying this out once update for Firefox 3 arrives, have been a long user of Google Browser Sync but as they have canned it this looks like it will do the job.

@Justin Blanton: yes, the next version of Weave will include the ability to access Tabs and Windows for your other Firefox instances. we’re aiming at releasing on Friday following the release of Firefox 3. more soon.

@Chet Grey: the current thinking for preferences sync would include the ability and an API for extensions to specify preferences and annotation-like data (which could be other forms of data or pointers to external resources) which would be sync’d by Weave. still a lot to figure out though, there will be a broader discussion around requirements following the 0.2 release.

This is an awesome project! I was using GBS (Google Browser Sync) for a couple of month to sync my three computers at work. When I heard that Google was going to pull the plug from it’s poorly maintained Browser Sync project I immediately looked for alternatives. An Firefox Weave does the trick – very well considering it’s early stage of development

Same for me. Had been using Google Browser Sync for over a year and will be switchin to Weave along with FF3.

Looks very promising !

As others said preferences are the next thing on the list. Great to see you’ve added pretty much everything else though! Can’t wait for the next release.

Excellent! Weave has drastically improved my Web experience.

How will syncing between OSes be handled for extensions and the like? I use both Windows and GNU/Linux, and though for the most part have the same extensions between my two Firefox installs, there are a few that are one-platform-only (IE Tab, for one).

Also, any chance of having user-extensible sync formats, for extension specific data? (e.g. Greasemonkey scripts, Stylish styles)

Awesome!
Just keep the work up.

I agree – preferences would be great. Especially if it could be broken up into two options: global Firefox preferences and preferences for extensions.

Looking forward to playing with the next release.

Holy crap, those additional data types would basically complete Weave for me. Wow. I guess the only other thing I can think of is to also store preferences?
