Alright. Second try at making the command more robust. It now gives a little more help in the preview and gives better indication when Google Calendar doesn't understand your input.

Let me know if it doesn't work?

Aza Raskin replied on August 28, 2008 17:54 to the question "How do I identify and undo Ubiquity-altered content on a page?" in Mozilla:

Hi Guys.

So the interface for the page-editing portions of Ubiquity isn't right at all. It's a place where a little bit can go a long way.

For instance, when you start editing a page, ideally a some sort of bar might come down from the top of the screen with buttons for "save changes", "undo changes", etc.

I'm looking forward to seeing what you guys come up with!

Good news, everyone. We've figured out what the problem was and fixed it. In the process, we also added some new features to the command (like better creation confirmation, as well as refreshing all open calendar pages).

We will be releasing an updated version of Ubiquity soon. But, for now, you can fix the problem by subscribing to my command feed. This will replace the built-in "add-to-calendar" with the fixed version.

We've made a ticket for this: http://labs.toolness.com/trac/ticket/152

Watch the ticket for further updates!

Ubiquity is the code name for the project. There will probably be a different name when it gets to be in Firefox.

Hmm. Weird. I can't reproduce the problem. Do you have a have another extensions installed?

Hey All.

Yep, at some point it seems to have been broken. I'll take a look into it. I'm really sorry about that!

Aza Raskin replied on August 27, 2008 06:45 to the problem "no more commands in ubiquity" in Mozilla:

What happened is that the command was broken. We'll probably have to work on making Ubiquity yet more resilient to error-ful commands.

Aza Raskin replied on August 27, 2008 06:34 to the idea "Match other parts of command than just the beginning" in Mozilla:

Yep. In fact, Ubiquity's matching algorithm is surprisingly dumb. There's a lot of work to be done there -- and almost anything will be a win.

We'll be looking at borrowing some of the algorithms from the Awesome Bar, so that we can also get adaptive learning in there too.

Aza Raskin replied on August 27, 2008 06:10 to the idea "A way to select search results using the keyboard" in Mozilla:

Hey Zorblek,

I think getting keyboard support for the preview array is an absolute must. We have a ticket for that here http://labs.toolness.com/trac/ticket/97. I'm copying your suggestions there.

I think it will take some user testing to figure out the best behavior.

Sorry about that! Did Ubiquity work at all, or were both of them broken?

Aza Raskin replied on August 27, 2008 02:34 to the question "How to store data from users with Ubiquity ?" in Mozilla:

Hi Tiago. Good question. We currently don't have a special Ubiquity API for that, but you can use anything in the Firefox developer arsenal to make it happen. For example, you can use FUEL:
