They have some pubsubhubbub support ( http://developer.github.com/v3/repos/hooks/#pubsubhubbub ), but you still need write access to create a web hook on the account.

Yes, it'll be part of the Gecko platform.

It's a limitation of the Github API. The app sends notifications after receiving a web hook from Github, and you can only add web hooks for repos you own.

I don't have any Chrome plans (I work for Mozilla), but I've heard rumors that the Chrome team is working on their own push notifications. Eventually I want to get these APIs standardized and in other browsers, not just Firefox and Boot to

I think notifications will be useful in all our browsers, not just B2G. I'm targeting Firefox Mobile for the initial release since mobile is where notifications fit in the best. I don't see notifications supplanting Server Sent Events. SSE

I don't know exactly what was going on, but we noticed that we were getting as much as 2,000 hits per minute from Alfred, NY. That IP is getting blocked by the load balancer now and I'm working on a way to remove that aberration from our st

The svg was generated from the shapefiles here: https://github.com/potch/glow/tree/master/shapefile . I need to ask potch where the shapefiles come from. Inner regions like lakes weren't included since they would complicate the svg without
