Automated Scanning of Firefox Extensions is Security Theater (And Here’s Code to Prove It)
The switch to WebExtensions, which includes the discontinuation of XUL/XPCOM-based extensions, will require most Firefox extensions, including Zotero, which I work on, to be largely rewritten. However, that change is still many months away, and many aspects of it remain unclear (including how much of the functionality in Zotero’s Firefox extension will be possible at all). In this post I’m going to focus on extension signing, which is scheduled to be enforced in Firefox 43, due out December 15. (Enforcement was originally planned for September but was pushed back.)

How to Charge for your Open Source
Remember: Open Source != Free Software. The source may be viewable on GitHub but that doesn’t mean anyone can use it for any purpose.

Italian agency design guide for public web sites
Italy’s Agency for the Digitalization of the Public Sector (AGID), has published a guideline on the creation and design of web sites, aiming to create a consistent visual identity for public administration web sites. The guide is based on international experiences, including that of the UK and US governments, the agency announced on Digital Italy Day on 21 November. The manual explains the design principles and details the fundamental tools for creating modern eGovernment sites, AGID writes. The guidelines will be updated regularly, the agency said, adding that it hopes to build a community of contributing web site designers and developers. These are invited to contribute code, report bugs and suggest ways to improve the design of eGovernment platforms.
