UnPlug

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

>somebody should /really/ ask the original author to give someone else
>access to the code (from mozdev), and patch all this stuff officially! :-P

The code is GPL'd so there's no explicit need to ask (although it would be nice as a courtesy to the original author). All you'd need to do is add a new mozdev item, say "UnPlug+", post a note here to say you've added it for people looking for the updated version, and take it from there.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.6.06). 

UnPlug

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

The author has indicated (see http://unplug.mozdev.org/installation.html) that he won't have time to update UnPlug any more, and as a result we're seeing a flood of third-party versions at random external sites. How about one of the people who've made updates takes over the existing UnPlug project, name it something like UnPlug+ to let people know it's a new/updated version, and give it its own page on mozilla.org. Then it'd become part of the mozilla auto-update and checking process rather than requiring googling and manual install for everyone who wants to use it.
