Stravinsky's Sizzlin' Shack

Robert Sayre over at franklinmint.fm was puttering around Firefox's source tree fixing Atom parser bugs when he bumped into some Google employees working diligently to revamp the bookmarks system. Robert noticed that it was backed with SQLLite (mozStorage), has a calendar widget, and it has got the very general-sounding name "Places".


I took a closer look at what Robert had stumbled upon and found out that the Google employees he was referring to and who had done a couple of CVS Checkins were Brett Wilson (cached version) and Annie Sullivan - a software engineer who's been working on the FireFox toolbar.


Here's a screenshot of the calendar widget that was submitted by Brett on the 21st of last month in reply to a request by Dan Mosedale at Mozilla:




My take on all of this would be just three things:

1) a connection with Google's Personalized Search History - considering that Brett in one of the discussions mentioned that the calendar widget will be used to specify which part of history you are interested in viewing and may also be incorporated into some kind of query builder.

2) the calendar widget is probably another feature planned for a later version of Google's firefox toolbar

3) might have something to do with the calendar.google.com domain that's been floating around recently or possible a browser addon-on for FireFox.
