One of the big topics that I’m planning to devote a fair bit of MailCo energy towards is to help the Thunderbird extension “scene”. Part of that is making it easier to make extensions for Thunderbird, with better docs, cleaner APIs where necessary, etc. One of the dreams that people have mentioned repeatedly was “wouldn’t it be great to have a FUEL for Thunderbird”, referring to John Resig & Mark Finkle’s library that makes writing extensions for Firefox much easier.

Well, imagine my joy when Joey Minta posted on the newsgroup that he’s started just that. He’s looking for comments on the API, so check it out and pitch in!
