Since I publish a lot of [[Git]] packages, I was interested to read about [Joey Hess][]' [rel=vcs-* microformat][format]. I think recording the location of the repo sorcing a page is a great idea, but with the link stashed in the page header, I could easily browse on by without ever noticing that the link existed. This looks like the same sort of problem that the [Semantic Radar][SR] extension was designed to solve, except the SR extension notifies you about RDF files (SIOC, [[FOAF]], DOAP, etc.). I've altered the SR extension to identify the `rel=vcs-*` tags. The [[rel-vcs|rel-vcs.xpi]] extension places an icon in your Firefox statusbar which goes "hot" when a page has `rel=vcs-*` tags and "cold" otherwise. When the icon is "hot", you can click on it to pop up a list of rel-vcs links. Clicking on an item in the list will open that URI in a new tab. Since Firefox can't speak `git://` etc., the new tab will mostly be useful as a source of the URI for copy/pasting into a `git clone ...` call or similar. Alternatively, you can consider the "hot" icon as a suggestion to use `webcheckout` or other `rel=vcs-*` consumer on the source page.
