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. | Ubiquity is still a work in progress, and we are eager for you to join our virtual team to experiment.

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. | |||
