jetpack

Some of you might remember reading my blog post on my experience about porting the Bugzilla Tweaks jetpack to the Jetpack SDK.  I talked about almost everything in that post except where you can find the actual extension!  That was intentional, because there were quite a few bugs in the early versions, and I didn't want to release something which is basically broken.  But those issues have been mostly solved now, and I'm releasing the jetpack as a Firefox extension.

Atul Varma has built an user name autocomplete tool for Bugzilla.  This reminded me that it's been a long time since I wanted to add this functionality to the Bugzilla Tweaks jetpack.  Last week I added this feature, but I didn't get the time to blog about it!

Bugzilla is an essential tool to the working process of Mozilla, and many of us spend a good portion of their day in Bugzilla.  The Bugzilla Tweaks jetpack is an attempt of me and Johnathan to make this process more efficient and productive.  If you have never heard about it, it would be a good idea to first read Johnath's original post and then my previous one.
