Introducing Raindrop
Today we’re introducing Raindrop, an exploration in messaging innovation being led by the team responsible for Thunderbird, to explore new ways to use Open Web technologies to create useful, compelling messaging experiences... (Read the rest on the Raindrop blog)
There are several key ways you can get involved:
There are several key ways you can get involved:
- Ask questions and contribute ideas at our GetSatisfaction community.
- Upload a mock-up or design to the Raindrop Design group on Flickr.
- Pull the source code and start hacking.

This sounds interesting, as a mozilla and firefox user for a very long time I'm looking forward to this new innovation. -
Inappropriate?thanks @entreprender. we look forward to you kicking the tires or contributing in whatever way works best for you (code, docs, screen mockups, etc)!

Get Satisfaction is a good place for ideas and non code level questions and problems. If you have code level questions or development questions, please post them to the mailing list:
http://groups.google.com/group/raindrop
if you have design mockups/ideas, please post them to the flickr group:

Hello Roland - I couldn't find a place that felt relevant/appropriate for this: http://www.iamronen.com/2009/10/welco...
I would like to contribute, how can I? -

Inappropriate?Its very important to get a product similar to Google Wave out. Wave ist just impressive, and I think I would use it. I don't like google, though.
Raindrop should have the abilities similar to Wave (one character IM) and should integrate with:
- Thunderbird
- Sunbird
- ICQ, MSN, Yahoo Messenger, IRC and Skype
- IPhone
- cool would be a optional facebook and a studiVZ integration
It should have the ability to syncronise it with a (single or multiple) laptop over lan. Not an external server! I want my data only accessible in my local network.
Google is great with UIs. That sould be obvious now. Picasa is just the best UI I ever seen.
And so Mozilla should orientate its design to Google Wave, because they just create awsome GUIs.
I hope this helps and reaches some devellopers.1 Comment Add a comment

Inappropriate?Hi iamronen
Sorry for the late reply:
Some thoughts after reading your blog posts:
1. We are experimenting with how we
get feedback and get satisfaction has a way for you to contribute
ideas (and at this point it's better to create a new idea here in GS rather than a reply in this topic) by going to:
http://getsatisfaction.com/mozilla_me...
and selecting the "Share an idea" and you can select Raindrop as the
target product. And it's cool to post an idea here with links to your Blog posts or wherever you want to put your thoughts.It's important to note that
2. get satisfaction is a general place for ideas and feedback in general
but:
I. if your ideas are specifically design oriented then as i said post them to the flick group with screenshots if you wish
II. if your ideas are specifically code oriented then check out the mailing list
III. and of course there's the chat room and the code
3. If you are worried about the Thunderbird "noise" here in Get Satisfaction, it's easy to ignore it by bookmarking or subscribing via RSS to:
http://getsatisfaction.com/mozilla_me...
I’m happy

Hello Roland,
Thank you for the reply.
Firstly - I have posted on two of the channels you suggest GS-Ideas and Flickr and I am looking forward to see and learn how that goes (both the content and the process).
Secondly - I still feel that it would be great to have a space where the product concept could be discussed and co-created. I feel this is a challenge most open-source projects face (with little success). High level design (even before UI & GUI) is absent/limited/fragmented. Maybe this in its own context is something Mozilla (as a prominent entity in open-source) could explore? I think Raindrop and many other open-source projects could benefit from this greatly, and it would bring fresh-blood into the process by bringing designers into play and balancing out the technological dominance. But maybe it's just me :)
I greatly appreciate your time and attention
All Things Good

Inappropriate?Thanks Roland! Will do as you suggest
at this point it's better to create a new idea here in GS... by going to (link) and selecting "Share an idea"
Please suggest general "areas" which you'd like the community input to fall under, so that it's easiest for you guys to go through.
I’m sorry - neat freak!
