The plugin-futures Mailing List
The plugin-futures mailing list is where we discuss the evolution of NPAPI. This mailing list is for discussing the evolution of the API itself, primarily by plugin and browser developers. It is not a plugin developer tech-support list or a place for bug reports or complaints about specific plugins.
You can subscribe here, all subscriptions require approval which can take minutes to days. As of December 2009 the list archives are available only to members but we are working to change that soon. The plugin-futures mailing list uses this wiki for specifications.
Making an NPAPI Extension Proposal
If you would like to submit an NPAPI proposal please document it in a page on this wiki and place a link below in the "NPAPI Specifications Under Consideration" section. Use the same formatting as other proposals. Then email the plugin-futures mailing list about your proposal, including a link to the wiki page.
