Identity in the Browser, Nov. 2009

Our work at Mozilla on Identity in the Browser is picking up. Here's a quick link dump of recent work:

• Labs UX lead Aza Raskin writes about Identity in the Browser, with our most recent mockups and interface thoughts.
• I have started a formal project to define and construct an Account Manager for Firefox. Our goal is to provide browser-level support for end-user identity management, which covers the current tasks of login, logout, signup, information change, password change, and information revocation. I'll write more about it soon.
• I've pursuing another project that is currently called Contact Pool; this project is about providing a rich in-browser library for making applications that act on social entities (mostly people!).
