Hi Sebastian,

I missed Nigel's original e-mail, and on reading it now, I think an 
extension downloading and applying mechanism is needed in GNOME. Thanks 
loads for working on this, you rock :-)

I haven't looked at the presentation in too much depth, but in Nigel's 
original e-mail, he mentions there's no security. What's the status on 
this - have you implemented GPG signing now, or are you still planning 
on doing so in the future? I do think any extension mechanism nowadays 
is absolutely worthless until we can verify that the code came from a 
trusted source.


Thanks,

Andrew
