I've been doing various kinds of outreach, but it seems like our group isn't going to grow without something shiny to show off. Since Firefox sync is already open-source and there are various people working on making it more understandable and easy to use, I think building a Chrome plugin to allow users to access their Firefox sync data might be a good start. It doesn't have to be fancy, and from a brief look at the Chrome developer docs I don't think it can replace Chrome's built-in sync, but even if it's just something simple it would be something that would show the potential of open sync. For the first version, a button that displays a panel that first lets you authenticate with your Fx account and afterwards lists your open tabs in your Firefox instances would be achievable. We can use code from https://github.com/edmoz/fxa-sync-client and https://github.com/zaach/node-fx-sync to get started. To simplify things, let's only target Fx sync 1.5 users. Thoughts? Ryan
