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!

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.

[...] 看来Mozilla公司已经不再满足于只是做工具提供商，很有可能他们会进军在线服务这项领域。近日Mozilla实验室推出了一项称之为Weave的在线服务，该服务可以让用户通过Firefox浏览器在线同步例如书签、密码等等个人资料。用户可以先上传自己的书签或个人资料至Mozilla的Weave服务器，然后就可以随时随地在任何一台电脑或手机上使用相关内容了。同时Weave 还提供了一个基础开放框架，可让其他的开发商利用这些信息开发出相应在线应用程序，从而可进一步加强并改善FireFox的用户体验度。Mozilla公司表示，Weave计划的目的，是要在客户端软件和WEB之间实现更加紧密的融合，融合的手段是一系列在线服务。根据Mozilla实验室的Chris Beard描述，这项服务的目标是：提供一组基本的Mozilla基金会支持的网上服务。确保它能够方便的完成用户的定制的服务，并免费提供。使用者可以完全控制并定制自己的在线体验，包括是否公开个人资料，是否向朋友或第三方共享这些资料。为Firefox火狐浏览器建立一个可扩展架构必须注意的是，该服务目前只能运行于Firefox 3.0 beta 2上面，在使用该服务之前用户需先注册一个Mozilla帐号，随后根据邮件中的提示激活并安装相应的插件，重启后就可开始使用该服务。 [...]

[...] Mozilla Weave es una potente extensión que pretende mantener todas las configuraciones y preferencias del usuario siempre disponibles sin importar a donde vayas. Por supuesto, la idea no es nada nueva, pero vieniendo de los chicos de Mozilla, es todo un suceso. Por el momento, Weave aún está en fase experimental (incluso es posible descargarlo). La idea nació a finales del 2007, pero al ritmo en que trabaja está gente, podríamos esperar un RC en cualquier momento. Por cierto, solo funciona para Firefox 3. [...]

I read through the early posts, and I saw some discussion about user privacy, however I have a more specific concern which I don’t know if has been addressed:
- if a user wants to maintain privacy for their online activity, they can currently choose to clean (or not to record in the first place) all the private browsing data. Will users be able to do the same thing with Weave? Specifically, what guarantees exist to the user that their browsing data saved in the “cloud” isn’t accessed by others without their permission? If a user had previously allowed a third-party application to use some of their data, how can the user control which data is accessed by this application, while keeping the rest of their data completely private?
Example: If a person uses their computer at work to read the press and access their online credit card accounts during their lunch break, how can this person make sure that either: the history of their activity during their lunch break cannot be accessed by any third party in a way that this activity can be traced back to the specific user, OR that this browsing data is never recorded anywhere.
It would be neat if the browser came with an easy-to-click button that allowed any user to switch between private browsing (where nobody else but me can tell what my activity on the internet was), and times when it is ok to share certain information about my browsing.

[...] Weave is an extension for Firefox that allows you to back up and synchronize your bookmarks, open tabs, passwords and form entries across multiple computers. It’s a nifty little plug-in that takes up the slack for the much loved (and dearly departed) Google Browser Sync. Unfortunately, the Weave extension and service are in beta testing mode, and the backend servers that Mozilla uses to make Weave work are usually overwhelmed, making synchronization as slow as molasses. To make matters worse, the Mozilla servers are frequently taken offline for various reasons, so not only is synching slow, it doesn’t even work much of the time. [...]

The idea proposed of all email being kept on ones own computer is O.K. until you come to wanting your emails from a different computer then unless you’ve left your computer on and gone abroad, you can’t access your emails. So I must admit that I think it’s better as it is with your ability to delete anything as you wish.

Mozilla weave is great BUT there’s a fundamental feature that it’s lacking of:

KEEP THE LIST OF THE USER’S EXTENSIONS ON THE SERVER SIDE AS WELL!!!

Whenever the user logs in, all its missing extensions are proposed to be installed, right here, right now.

Firefox 3.0.5 crash when Weave 0.2.7 is enable. Disable it if you use 3.0.5

Confirmed what Tiago is saying, getting segmentation fault when attempting to start Firefox 3.0.5 with Weave 0.2.7.

[...] Weave is a Mozilla Labs’ project to develop a coherent framework and platform for deeply integrating online services with the browser. Our goals are to enhance the Firefox user experience, increase user control over their personal information, and provide new opportunities for developers to build innovative online experiences.

I just wnat to know which license Weave is distributed?

Pardon me if this has been mentioned before:

I use two Firefox instances: one for my work activities, and one for personal. I use them both on the same computer, but I do want to keep them separate. I’d like Weave to understand and respect that, so I can have not just “My Firefox” but “My Personal Firefox” and “My Work Firefox”. As an extension of this, it’d be nice to be able to selectively carry e.g. bookmark folders across the two.

I am fan of Opera, I think Firefox should support Notes as Opera, Notes in Opera can sync so user can use everywhere.

@guillaume: The FEBE Firefox extension (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2109) has functionality to address exactly the issue you raise — it claims to “actually rebuild your extensions individually into installable .xpi files. Now you can easily synchronize your office and home browsers.” (From the summary at addons.mozilla.org.)

I’ve been using FEBE for general profile-backup purposes for a month or so, but haven’t personally tried out the extension-management functionality… sounds worth looking into if you need to keep multiple browser installations in extension-sync, though.

As for selectively syncing various folders of bookmarks, Foxmarks added that functionality at some point not too long ago — they call it “Sync Profiles”. You can (for example) define profiles for “Work” and “Home” browsers, and designate bookmarks folders that should not (or should only) be sync’d for different profiles.

I’ve been using Foxmarks for a VERY long time, and it would be hard to overstate how awesome I think it is. I originally installed back in the days of the Firefox 1.5 -> 2.0 journey, to protect against that annoying bug where Ffox occasionally just blanked a profile’s personal/historical data w/o warning — I was tired of losing my bookmarks and just wanted them archived somewhere outside the browser! The fact that it became my ONE consolidated bookmark set, and was always the SAME no matter which computer I was on or what OS I was booted into… actually that was just an added bonus. (But quickly made it painfully obvious how much time and effort I’d been wasting before, storing things locally — the POINT of a bookmark is to have some page readily & quickly available if I need it again. Which it really isn’t when there’s a good chance I’ll be in another browser instance.)

Plus there are times — not very often, maybe once every couple of months or so — I’ll find myself somewhere random mentioning this great page I’d seen, or someone will be looking for info that I know I found on an obscure site. Conversations that invariably used to end, “Yeah, I know I bookmarked it… I’ll try and remember to send you the link when I get home.” (Hah.) Now, it’s just “here, I’ll pull it up for you”… a quick trip to my.foxmarks.com from anywhere == instant gratification.

I’m not saying Foxmarks itself is perfect. (And no, I don’t work there.) It’s had hiccups, and there are valid reasons for some people to have privacy concerns or need richer functionality. (My own needs aren’t too demanding: I signed up on 2006-05-28, looks like, and almost 3 years later I’m only at revision 448.) My bookmarks also aren’t closely-guarded state secrets, it took me all of maybe 3 minutes to decide that it really didn’t matter where my bookmarks might be spread… not even the couple of URLs I stored with authentication data embedded, for various reasons. *shrug*

(That was back when installing Foxmarks automatically meant everything was exposed, it’s nice to know that now certain things can be protected w/ profiles… I still haven’t bothered, tho.)

When I saw that there was a plugin for syncing to Google Bookmarks, I figured THAT would eventually eclipse Foxmarks — I went with Foxmarks initially only because at the time it was really the only option. I’m as surprised as anyone that I accidentally picked the right horse.

History syncing would still be nice, sure… Weave and Google Bookmarks both looked like promising candidates to take syncing to the next level and make it more extensive, robust, and intelligent. But everybody trying to do full-history syncing is apparently finding it real hard to do right, and do well… or really at all. Foxmarks doesn’t do a LOT, but it does it in a pretty much invisible, automatic, and intuitive way that actually proves ASTONISHINGLY useful as a result.

Whoops, neglected to mention that second part of my response was actually directed @Don Dwiggins.

Anyone else unable to sign in to the service? I haven’t been able to connect for awhile now, and it reports an invalid username and/or password, even though I am 100% certain that the ones I am using are correct.

I’m afraid in my case Weave is a total failure.

I installed Firefox 3.1b2 and the current Weave on XP and Mac OS. The Mac is new, and I hadn’t bookmarked anything there. The XP is “mature”, and had a lot of bookmarks.

I enabled only bookmarks, and did an initial sync on both machines. The bookmarks from the XP machine transferred to my Macbook, and all seemed well.

I then proceeded to start organizing my bookmarks on XP (remember, it is “mature” – a lot of old and un-categorized bookmarks). Bookmarks I moved seem to have been transferred OK. But ones that I deleted were not always deleted on the Mac. Some were, some weren’t.

However, something else much more serious has occurred. I have a recursive mess! I previously had nothing under “unsorted bookmarks” on both machines. I’ve always added new uncategorized bookmarks in the main bookmark menu. I dunno at what Firefox version “unsorted bookmarks” appeared, but I’ve never used it, and my browser has always defaulted to adding bookmarks to the main menu.

Now, I have a second copy of all of my bookmarks (from the very top level “All Bookmarks” down) under “unsorted bookmarks”. And…. at the bottom of that, yet another copy of all of my bookmarks under another “unsorted bookmarks” entry. Ad infinitum. Well, I don’t really know if it is ad-infinitum, because I don’t have the patience to drill-down and see how far it goes.

But it looks to me like it’s turtles all the way down.

I think it’s best to revert to Firefox 3.06 (or 3.07) and recover my bookmarks from backup media. Not useful, and quite scary at this point. Disappointing, to say the least, at a point after more than a year of development.

Hey, I know it’s beta, alpha, or less, but…

Ugh, now I’m confused where my bookmarks are or how I’m going to get them back the way they were. My bookmarks.html is dated 1/4/2009, and backup dated 1/4/2009. So this is not where they are. There’s a bookmarkbackups directory in my profile, and that has an html file from 1/4/2009, and several json files with various dates up to the present. The json files are all around the same size, so no apparent growth.

I’m guessing, then, that my bookmark file is not actually growing, but that this is some sort of bug that makes the display code recursively display the bookmark directory structure endlessly.

But where the heck are my bookmarks kept? Is the bookmark file no longer used once you are using Weave?

It may be helpful to know how I have my bookmarks organized. Most of them live in the Bookmarks Toolbar. I have about 10 folders there, some of them with many subfolders. I put new bookmarks in the main bookmark menu, and eventually move them to to toolbar folders. As I said, I NEVER use “unsorted bookmarks”.

Is the Weave project dead? I haven’t seen an update in a long time.

Welcome to the Cloud…

I miss Weave updates…

Hmm I wonder where Google got there ‘Wave’ service idea from ;-)
