Microsummaries

Joey Addon currently detects if a page has an RSS link, and allows the end-user to upload it to the remote Joey site. If there are other meaningful links associated with the current web page, we may also use Joey Addon to be sensitive to this information, highlight these linked types, and probably provide specific shortcut functions so the end-user can upload these content/types. By identifying microsummaries, we can also add value to an URL that is already in the joey cloud. This section organizes some of the popular microsummaries. Our end-goal is to improve Joey's addon detection so that the information store in the server can have more value, more links to related value, and less data ( as in the actual bits ).

Access to Cloud / Management Rearrangement UI

* Ways to access the server cloud from the Addon
* Server UI ( php front-end ) working with Joey Addon - can we take advantage so that Joey addon knows that the user is on the Joey front-end management page and present short cuts and quick actions for its cloud management. 
* Which is the real separation of the Web UI and the Addon? 
* Is there a notification mechanism besides FF extension update?
