Re: Chrome plugin to access Firefox sync

To get things started, I've created a BrowserSyncCG organization on Github,
and added a very simple stub extension repo:
https://github.com/BrowserSyncCG/chrome-fx-sync

If you'd like to be part of the organization, just let me know your Github
username.

Thanks,
Ryan
