GSoC: Zeitgeist weekly report #2

Hey!

online version of the report can be found at

As planned, this week I finished our new Chrome extension together with 
the NPAPI plugin. In the end the javascript part of the extension didn't 
turn out to be as straightforward as I expected, but using some 
not-so-nice hacks  it does what it's supposed to do. After I finished 
the Chrome extension I tried to make our new totem plugin using 
libzeitgeist build out of totem's tree, and fortunately this was easier 
than I thought it would, so it's done now and I also got some time to 
start to revamp the build system in zeitgeist-dataproviders [1], and 
even though now it's a strange mix of autotools in the top source 
directory and our own Makefiles in the plugin dirs, it works and 
currently provides the ability to detect which plugins can be build and 
it builds only those (note that it's incomplete, but the framework is 
there).

Plan for the next week is to move the whole build system to autotools, 
with the ultimate goal of making it possible to build packages of the 
dataproviders. Once that is done, I'll start to write another totem 
plugin, this time one which will pull data from ZG and therefore will 
add some UI elements to totem. Stay tuned ;)
