Introducing Weave

As the Web continues to evolve and more of our lives move online, we believe that Web browsers like Firefox can and should do more to broker rich experiences while increasing user control over their data and personal information.

One important area for exploration is the blending of the desktop and the Web through deeper integration of the browser with online services.

We’re now launching a new project within Mozilla Labs to formally explore this integration. This project will be known as Weave and it will focus on finding ways to enhance the Firefox user experience, increase user control over personal information, and provide new opportunities for developers to build innovative online experiences.

Just like Mozilla enables massive innovation by making Firefox open on many levels, we will aim to do the same with Weave by developing an open extensible framework for services integration.

Organizing Principles

We’ve set out some basic organizing principles to help frame the approach that we’re going to explore. We will:

• provide a basic set of optional Mozilla-hosted online services
• ensure that it is easy for people to set up their own services with freely available open standards-based tools
• provide users with the ability to fully control and customize their online experience, including whether and how their data should be shared with their family, their friends, and third-parties
• respect individual privacy (e.g. client-side encryption by default with the ability to delegate access rights)
• leverage existing open standards and propose new ones as needed
• build a extensible architecture like Firefox

Overview of the Idea

1. browser metadata is pushed into the cloud (e.g. bookmarks, history, customizations, etc.)
2. this metadata is transparently reflected everywhere an individual gets online
3. we provide a basic framework for easily sharing and delegating access to this metadata to friends, family and third-parties
4. we build tools and APIs to extend this framework and to provide new user experiences

Use Cases

We’ve also developed some initial use cases that we’ll be exploring with Weave. To be clear, it’s not Mozilla’s intent to provide robust applications for, say, travel planning. We intend to provide the infrastructure and an consistent model for how a user can open up their browser metadata to friends and third-party applications. These use cases are just examples of the types of things we would like to explore, and have others build applications on top of.

Initial Roadmap

Weave 0.1 (December 21, 2007)
• basic framework and server-side in place for testing and experimentation
• authentication with a single online service provider (e.g. labs.mozilla.com)
• bookmark and history synchronization to the server from multiple clients
• default encryption of all user data with a placeholder algorithm



Weave 0.2 (Early 2008)

• initial Web service APIs for developers to build on
• user controls and ability to delegate (and revoke) access rights to specific bits of browser metadata
• UI to enable sharing on applicable interfaces

Get Weave

• Install Weave v0.1 for Firefox 3.0b2pre or greater, Windows/Mac/Linux
  Warning: This is an early prototype. Use at your own risk.

How to Get Involved

We’ll be rolling out prototypes of various components of the framework, gathering feedback and hosting a series of discussions and sessions on the Mozilla Labs site to plan, design, and further develop Weave.

• Discuss, debate and add to the design in the Weave forum.
• Join us in #labs on irc.mozilla.org.

hmmm…. Now Mozilla wants to be social too.

:(

Registration is temporarily disabled.

Sorry for the inconvenience; we set a cap on registrations to prevent our servers from being overloaded, and we hit it rather quickly.

We’ll evaluate whether to open up soon, but with folks generally away for the holidays we may hold on for a bit. We’ll stay in touch via the forums, so check them first!

How does Mozilla intend to get over the privacy of all this data being with/going through them? To be honest, I thought something like this from Mozilla would be more like Google Gears, except better. For instance: allowing a user to store all their e-mail data on their hard-drive, but to access it through Google Mail — that way, people get the security of “owning” their data, but use the Google Mail interface to interact with it.

Thus, users have their data and are free to do as they like with it, and Google Mail (or whoever) would have their coveted users and still be able to generate ad-revenue.

It just seems to make more sense that way. And utilizing things like OSX’s encrypted drives and Vista’s BitLocker, there’s also heightened security.

Is there any documentation?

@Ralph: Not yet. This isn’t anywhere near production yet, we have a basic prototype and an idea on how to evolve it. Join us in the forums where we’ll be building on the idea.

@publicfacing:

How does Mozilla intend to get over the privacy of all this data being with/going through them?

Mozilla is a public benefit organization and we’re all about promoting choice and innovation. To that end, our current thinking is that we will address this in three ways:

First, we’re going to require encryption by default. We’re using a temporary algorithm right now, while we sort out all the technical and legal issues. Remember: This is just a concept and a prototype at this point.

Second, we’re going to make it easy for people to setup their own servers and services using freely available tools. In the prototype, the server doesn’t have any intelligence and is WebDAV over HTTP.

Third, we’re going to make it all completely optional. If you really, really want to be sure that your data is protected the best possible way is keep full and complete control of it and encrypt it yourself on your own computer.

To be honest, I thought something like this from Mozilla would be more like Google Gears, except better.

We’re launching this project to explore this space. We have some ideas and an initial prototype that we can build upon, but the idea of Mozilla Labs is that it is a space for open shared collaboration and exploration of new ideas. Not just a place for gathering user feedback and early adoption.

We’re just getting started. This is but the first of many steps.

… allowing a user to store all their e-mail data on their hard-drive, but to access it through Google Mail — that way, people get the security of “owning” their data, but use the Google Mail interface to interact with it.

We’ve been working on enabling this use case for the whole of the Web through the standardization process.
http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/

You can do some of this today with Firefox using DOM Storage that we introduced in Firefox 2. It’s based upon the WhatWG specs.
http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/DOM:Storage

Firefox 3 will also support WHATWG online and offline events, which let applications and extensions detect whether or not there’s an active Internet connection, as well as to detect when the connection goes up and down.
http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Online_and_offline_events

However, offline application and storage support doesn’t directly help achieve the Weave vision. The key is to find a way that allows for browser metadata to be accessible and persistent on the network so that it is accessible by your other browser instances as well as third-party add-ons even when you’re offline.

… would have their coveted users and still be able to generate ad-revenue.

We’re not planning on building applications or complex services ourselves, but rather providing a framework and consistent model for how users can access their Firefox experience from anywhere and open up their browser metadata to friends and third-party applications.

We imagine that there will be many ways that this can be achieved, and it likely involves supporting and providing compatibility to existing and emerging standards for network and service interoperability. This is part of what we’re starting to work on now, in the open, in Mozilla Labs. Everyone is welcome to participate.

@Jodie: User privacy is very important to us as well. See cbeard’s post above for a summary of our current approach to protect it. The two main points are:

* We currently encrypt on the client all data that gets placed on the server, with an encryption passphrase that only the user knows.

* We kept the server intentionally dumb and standards-based, so that anyone can set up a server for themselves and/or their friends or company.

Just a comment, by way of orienting concerns and intention: take this artifact as revealing: “https://labs.mozilla.com/forum/index.php/topic,392.0.html” … see what I’ve kvetching?

There are some things that really really really matter. (Not using too many fonts on a page comes to mind.) I’d like to suggest those as foundational … cognitive ergonimics meets IA and design.
What about the list that would include “human-readable URLs”? I’m not suggesting that any one of those are show-stoppers. I’m not even saying just that they should be taken as a meaningful list. My point is this: if we don’t adjust our internal “squelch” so that those considerations break out of the background noise and distraction then we have our squelch set too high.

Cognitive “schema” … what do we acknowledge (consciously or not” as “salient”? When we ignore enough of those “little quibbles” we find that our foundation crumbles. (Imagine concrete that was poured too wet or too dry … no matter how correct the design, it won’t carry the weight we need it to.)

Oh, and Merry Christmas!
–bentrem

p.s. allowing comment editing … just a little quibble?

I’m not sure if I’m just a bit slow, but what exactly does this thing DO? The opening gambit was very waffly and my eyes glazed over a bit from there! It talks about standards and online services and other Web 2.0 buzzwords, but I fail to see what Weave actually does!

@chaos, the Weave extension encrypts user data on the client and uploads encrypted blobs of data. So data mining is *not* something we are going for.

I am wondering if this is similar to the roaming profiles in the Mozilla Suite? What are the similarities and major differences?

The first thing that strikes me as a good thing is the client side encryption. Not having checked Weave out yet in practice, is the data tunnel secure through the entire session, or just the login transaction?

Does this all mean that folks are expanding the profile management project? If so could they add an import export feature to the suite & specifically email apps that can migrate from mozilla application to another? The hoops you have to jump through now are more complex than just pointing the mozilla app at your profile folder.

Good work. Mozilla Labs is increasingly revolutionary. How do you have the time to do all this whilst still pushing Firefox 3?! Mind boggling.

Is the server-side code for this available for download? I wouldnt mind using something like this, but I would want to be able to host the server end of it myself, rather than have it on someone else’s machine.

My mail server is rejecting the registration verification email:

Jan 5 09:12:57 temple postfix/smtpd[17070]: connect from webheads01.sj.mozilla.com[63.245.208.134]
Jan 5 09:12:58 temple postfix/smtpd[17070]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from webheads01.sj.mozilla.com[63.245.208.134]: 550 5.7.1 : Helo command rejected: Host not found; from= to= proto=ESMTP helo=

Can you guys fix this?

Thanks.

“We kept the server intentionally dumb and standards-based, so that anyone can set up a server for themselves and/or their friends or company.”

Where can we download the server software, or where can we find instructions for how to configure one using existing generic server software?

Will this be something like “hosted Fx profiles”?
So, when I open any Fox, I get a login screen and have all of my bookmarks, extensions, userChrome.css and userContent.css immediately without installing?

I hope FireFox 3 will enable all the options of the HTTP protocol to let us put all this big web stuff back on the REST track…
