However, it can't auto-authenticate to networks that require a web-based login, which includes many wired and wireless networks such as [http://www.senecac.on.ca/senenet/ SeneNET] and [http://www.yorku.ca/computng/students/internet/airyork/index.html AirYork]. Modify NetworkManager so that it talks (though dbus) to a Firefox extension for automatic login to a web-authenticated network. Resources: ctyler, (roc, callion for dbus)
== Create a MDRK Spin ==
"Specifically, Mozilla has a great system called “try servers” where one can submit patches against the tree, and the build system runs builds on Linux, Mac and Windows, using those patches, then serves those builds for testing. This is really helpful to figure out if proposed patches solve specific problems...The only problem is that there’s a little bit of patching needed to the try server code itself to make it able to work with other targets besides Firefox, as described in bug 431375" ([http://ascher.ca/blog/2008/05/02/thunderbird-team-needs-help-from-pythonperl-build-assist/ Ascher])
== Add NetworkManager web authentication login =Potential OOo Projects =
NetworkManager is a Linux component which handles network connections -- especially wireless connections. It keeps track of different WAP/WEP passwords for various networks that you've used automatically, but it doesn't automatically login to web-based authentication schemes (such as SeneNET or AirYork). It would be useful if there was a Firefox extension integrated with NetworkManager (using dbus communication) to login on networks that use a web-based authentication system.== [[Sample Project]] ==
