CMX sidebar
CMX sidebar: I missed this when it came out in late February... the CommunityMX sidebar offers a variety of relevant feeds and searches in a single UI (can search Macromedia LiveDocs, newsgroup discussions, etc). The article by Paul Newman contains usage tips. Something that particularly interested me was how SWF is used for the main guts of the capability, while there are different wrapper layers above it for working in the various Mozilla-family browsers, with their differing mechanics for hosting sidebars... keeping the environment-specific code separate from the environment-independent code like this seems a smart way to minimize development costs across multiple engines.
