Hi guys.  We've been thinking about what the browser and ebook reader 
experience for the XO/OLPC laptop should be.  We'd like to build this on 
the browser, but currently we're just using pygtkmozembed, which doesn't 
offer much potential for customization.  So we're thinking about how we 
can make a more extensible browser.  Just as an example of the sort of 
thing we'd like to do, we'd like to make it so that when you page down 
and you are already at the bottom of the page, if the page has a <link 
rel="next">  link, we'd use that.

PyXPCOM seems like a good basis for this sort of work.  It uses Python, 
we use Python, it offers access to the internals of the document, and we 
want that too.  But from what I can tell not that many people use 
PyXPCOM.  Actually, I have no idea who uses it at all.  Obviously this 
is worrying.

So I'm wondering, given OLPC's somewhat constrained schedule and the 
importance of the browser to the laptop experience, is PyXPCOM something 
we should pursue?  We have to do something different than what we are 
doing now, but the other alternative is to do something more 
conservative like Firefox (either stripping it down, or building up 
something similar).
