@Tony – trunk version is in SVN and can be built (http://wiki.mozilla.org/Prism). A release should be happening soon.

@Todd – sorry about the link (fixed). Great work on Fluid, it really shines. The Flickr icon repo is also a nice asset. Feel free to email me about meetup stuff or ways we can converge/support web app features. (mark dot finkle at gmail dot com)

Hi Mark, Todd here, developer of Fluid. Congrats on the new Prism features! Also, thanks for the Fluid shoutout… although the link is broken. should be fluidapp dot com not org.

I’d love to do a meetup too.

The code for the dock badge stuff is copied from mailnews/ and implemented under a generic API, with the intention to move it (and other OS-specific stuff) to toolkit/ at the appropriate time (i.e. not until after FF3 has launched).

That said, the code is ancient and uses obsolete APIs from the Carbon era. I think it should be reimplemented anyway.
