Welcome
Ubiquity is still a work in progress, and we are eager for you to join our virtual team to experiment. If, when reading this tutorial, you think of a way that Ubiquity could be made easier to use, or an idea for its future development, we hope you'll take a moment to [http://getsatisfaction.com/mozilla/products/mozilla_ubiquity share your thoughts]. By getting involved with Ubiquity while the project is still in its early stages, you have an opportunity to shape the direction of its growth.
 
== If you're on a Mac... ==
 
You'll need to install [http://growl.info/ Growl]. This is a Mac OS X system extension that applications can use to display unobtrusive transparent messages. Ubiquity uses Growl notifications to show you the output of commands and tell you about errors.
 
On Windows (XP and later), you don't need to install anything special, as Ubiquity will use the operating system's built-in "toaster"-style pop-up messaging.
 
On Linux, we don't have a good messaging system yet. If you have a suggestion for how Ubiquity can display messages on Linux (preferably in a way that will work on all major distros and window managers), please tell us about it.
