    for web applications: including new features (like search and

    notification support) and better integration into browser UI.





docs/

  and goals of the project.

An example that shows how to integrate myapps javascript libraries

    to allow a site author to trigger an installation of their application.

Files related to setting up a local develoment environment.  Currently

    a nodejs script that will allow you to run a webserver that serves

    up the various sites contained here.



site/


The "myapps" website.  To the end user this site is a location

    where they can launch their application dashboard.  To the developer

    this is the domain under which several javascript libraries are

    hosted that allow interaction with the user's applications.

    Site nightlies are hosted at https://myapps.mozillalabs.com





store/


The "appstore" website, implemented as a Python webserver.

  Implements a demonstration application store that performs 

  authentication of users and provides "proof-of-purchase" assertions

  to applications.  No real payment processing is performed.
