Yahoo! Hiring XUL Hackers
|
|
In a weblog posting, Yahoo! employee Jeremy Zawodny has revealed that Yahoo! is looking to hire some XUL hackers. The job description appeals to candidates who have experience in cross-platform C/C++ development in addition to Mozilla technologies like XUL, JavaScript and XPCOM. "Hopefully, you've already written your own XUL application and used an XPCOM extension as a part of that application," the job description says. "If you've ever submitted a patch to the Mozilla code base that's a huge plus." Yahoo! currently uses XUL and related technologies for its Yahoo! Toolbar for Mozilla Firefox. According to a May post at SiliconBeat (a technology weblog run by the San Jose Mercury News), Yahoo! is "exploring using XUL to build a Firefox version" of Yahoo! PhotoMail, which currently only works with Microsoft Internet Explorer. Launched earlier this year, Yahoo! PhotoMail (the PhotoMail site is pretty useless if you're not using Internet Explorer) aims to make it easier to send photographs via Yahoo! Mail.
