I'd like to use this page to try to foster some CCK discussion.

I'm looking to revive the CCK.

Here's some info:

So basically, there were two products from Netscape, one from the old 4.x days called Mission Control Desktop, and one from Netscape 7 called CCK (actually MCD renamed, I'm simplifying here)

The MCD product provided an interface to lockdown preferences, as well as the CCK functionality. It was written in Java.

The Netscape 7 CCK focused on a customized install. This customized install included things like home page, throbber, throbber icon, help menu, bundling XPIs into the install, etc.

If anyone would like to see the CCK, it can be downloaded here:

ftp://ftp.netscape.com/pub/cck/english/7.0/NSCCKSetup.exe

Currently, it is Windows only.

There is CCK code in the tree, but I'm not sure it is a good place to start. It is here:

Anyone have any suggestions as to how to create a cross platform install packager/customizer app?

What is more important to people, a good interface to lock down preferences or a customized install?

Should we look at creating a XUL runner app?

Or should it be an extension to Mozilla/Firefox/Thunderbird?
