Design

I started the high-level design work last week. This included mapping out what functions would be needed, including short descriptions of their purpose, parameters, and return values. I am in the process of transferring this preliminary design from scratch paper to an electric copy. More refinement will be taking place during this process. Along with heavily borrowing from the structure of XMLHttpRequest.

Not much progress has been made since then. I have been getting a lot done on my 402 project and not really focusing on this. No worries though, JavaScriptIOn's time shall come!

Decisions

I have decided that I will be creating the extension for the Firefox web browser. This is because I feel that Firefox has a larger community and because it has been around for a longer period of time, there is a greater chance that people will be able to answer my questions.

So from here I need to start the actual design of what the prototypes will do. In order to do this, I need to make sure that I have a thorough understanding of the I/O process in the browser. Hopefully I cant find source code to aid in this endeavor.
