Plug-In Problem

Goal:

What It Is:

• create dynamic content that will notify people when their plug-ins are out of date (https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security:ThePluginProblem)
• readable spec is at https://wiki.mozilla.org/Plugins:PluginCheck

Scope:

• Four week project to finish phase 1 of the Plug-In project.
  • In this phase, we want to create a page, accessible through specially designed buttons, "What's New Page" and Snippets, that allow a Firefox user to see which of their installed plug-ins are up-to-date.
  • This phase is dependent on a database that would need to be kept current (chofmann?). This database will also be used for the Plug-In updater that will become part of Firefox 3.6.

Concerns/Questions:

Are there different plug-in versions per locale? In other words, is there a different version of the most up-to-date version of Flash for French speakers?
