|The other day I | |The other day I [http://robert.accettura.com/blog/2009/02/05/printable-stylesheets-to-save-the-environment/ mentioned how cool printable stylesheets were]. I figured I'd write up an idea for a Firefox addon (or perhaps a future feature). It would make a pretty cool summer of code project (or two depending on if you split it up). The idea is not all that different from [http://userstyles.org/userstyles Userstyles] or [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/748 GreaseMonkey] though intends to be easier to use. | ||
On the client side when attempting to print a page the addon would inject a printable stylesheet to make the printable output waste less paper, be more readable and just ascetically superior to raw printing. Since each site is unique if it didn't have a stylesheet for the site already it would query a central repository for stylesheets that match that url. If one or more is found it would be offered to the user as a stylesheet that could be installed and then printed with. Installing leaves a copy on the clients computer so that it could be used even in offline mode and if the repository were unavailable. | On the client side when attempting to print a page the addon would inject a printable stylesheet to make the printable output waste less paper, be more readable and just ascetically superior to raw printing.

| | |Previous efforts to add Bittorrent support to Firefox have fizzled. A compelling case would need to be made for a) adding P2P support at all, and b) choosing ed2k rather than bittorrent, particularly as bittorrent has libraries which could be integrated directly rather than the fairly hacky external program solution proposed here. -- Gerv | ||
