[add-art dev] help w/ version splash & news

[Matt Katz]

I followed a couple of those blog search links and put up comments on them
asking for any interested ff3 devs to get in touch.

Now that we can download a file, I was thinking about putting together the
remote hosting feature.

Does anyone have a preference for JSON or XML?  I'm leaning to JSON since
it is so much less scary  to read for when we have folks trying to craft
these docs for their own site.

Steve - I'd be happy to f'around with the server side portion of the
version splash on add-art.org, but I need some kind of admin account to
try some work on it.  What priveleges/accounts would I need?

Jamie W - I'm still having svn commit problems and I re-registered on
eyebeam wiki under MattK.  Can you re-enable me for commit or give me a
call if the whole setup looks good?

Thanks,
Matt

> We added an overlay to the chrome.manifest file:

> addart/chrome.manifest

> that refers to a .xul file (yeah, I did it)
> http://dev.eyebeam.org/projects/add-art/browse/branches/versionsplash/
> addart/chrome/content/versionsplash.xul

> which calls this javascript file:

> We also changed build.bat file and compile.sh around so it would work
