Operator 0.7 for Firefox

Operator is a Firefox extension that lets you combine information on Web sites with applications in ways that are useful.

For instance, Flickr + Google Maps, Upcoming.org + Google Calendar, Yahoo! Local + your address book, and many more possibilities and permutations.

All of these scenarios are possible due to Microformats, an emerging standard for injecting semantics into HTML.

You can use Operator to debug your microformats. Holding down the Ctrl key when you select a microformat action will show you the HTML that corresponds to that microformat. In addition, holding down the Shift key when you select a microformat action will display our internal representation of the microformat data.

If a microformat doesnt show up, but you believe there is one, it might be because the microformat is invalid. You can turn on debug mode in options to see invalid microformats.

Also, Operator was designed to be extensible. You can add more microformats and more handlers for existing microformats. For more information, check out handler-example.js and microformat-example.js in the Operator extension directory after you have installed Operator. New microformats and handlers should be placed in a directory called "microformats" in your profile directory.

I understand that I used a different way to do the translation for this version of the extension (JS file). For the next version, I will move the translation into a properties file.
