[Googlebar] Re: Googlebar Digest, Vol 20, Issue 10

[Andy Boughton]

Fritz-
     This is great news! Hope you've been keeping up with the newest experimental version- it really does have a lot more features than what you can get over at the Mozilla Updates main extension site.  Our current project lead is out of town at the moment (believe it or not, he just got hitched!), but I'm going to post the comments you made over to our newest project uber-discussion-bug, bug 8567 ( http://mozdev.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=8567 ) so we can discuss it without flooding the mailing list. As you can see, once John gets back, we're hoping to release version 0.9.5 and head down the road to 1.0.  You're already on the "email cc list" for that bug, so keep an eye out for the discussion.

     While we sort some of our naming issues out, though, I do need to ask you to clarify- where does our logo use the Google color scheme? The toolbar icon set uses a very different logo currently, and the logo on the project homepage (http://googlebar.mozdev.org) uses a multicolored logo. We did once use a more google-like logo, but changed it at Google's request- please review and see if the problem remains.

Look forward to talking more with the Google folk soon,

Hey there, folks. We here at Google like your product, and would like
to link to it from toolbar.google.com when someone with a compatible
user-agent lands there. We've got the link all ready to go, but we're
blocked on two things:

(1) The name "Googlebar" makes it sound like this is an official
Google product (a la Google Toolbar, Google Desktop Search, etc) when
in fact it is not. We'd be able to link to you if the name wasn't
confusing, for example if it were called "Searchbar for Google",
"Firefox Toolbar for Google", or perhaps something that rolls off the
tongue such as "Firefox Toolbar for Google Services that is Not
Affiliated With or Endorsed by Google, Inc. In Any Way Shape Or Form."

(2) The current logo uses Google's color scheme. We'd be able to link
to you if the colors were changed to some other scheme.

Do these sound like reasonable requests? Yes? No? Shall I file bugs on them?

Thanks!
