The sidebars database is now on http://sidebar-rdf.netscape.com/ but it seems not changing for a long time. Maybe nobody is managing it. And there is not much sidebars. We was not able to add 40 Czech sidebars there. Why do not move the database to the mozilla.org? When someone will managing it the database can grow quickly, there are many sidebars, which are not in the Netscape database. And this is sad. If we want to popularize sidebars make sidebars database for users as large as can be. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:

This bug does not belong in Browser->Sidebar. Perhaps mozilla.org->Misc ? I agree that the sidebar page at netscape should be moved to a place where it will be maintained. Perhaps mozillazine.org or mozdev.org would be better ? Have you tried contacting people there ? Or you could start your own mozdev.org project (like <http://extensionroom.mozdev.org/>). Or find somebody else who will.

All the links are broken at http://dmoz.org/Netscape/Sidebar/, which is where you are sent when you choose to add new ones in the sidebar. See bug #214819. The best long-term fix for that is to fix this one.

Can someone outline what the sidebar database actually does, who consults it (people? programs?) and what mozilla.org would need to do and change to host it? Gerv

I'm not even going to ask what that gibberish is. Someone's browser got the charset confused I think.

(In reply to comment #7) > I'm not even going to ask what that gibberish is. I am sorry, I don't know, why this happened. So once more: In prefs are 3 sidebar related URLs: pref("sidebar.customize.all_panels.url", "http://sidebar-rdf.netscape.com/%LOCALE%/sidebar-rdf/%SIDEBAR_VERSION%/all-panels.rdf"); pref("sidebar.customize.directory.url", "http://dmoz.org/Netscape/Sidebar/"); pref("sidebar.customize.more_panels.url", "http://dmoz.org/Netscape/Sidebar/"); For example in the Czech Mozilla localization URLs are: pref("sidebar.customize.all_panels.url", "http://www.czilla.cz/sidebars/panels/all-panels.rdf"); pref("sidebar.customize.directory.url", "http://www.czilla.cz/sidebars/"); pref("sidebar.customize.more_panels.url", "http://www.czilla.cz/sidebars/"); The first is URL of the RDF root for the sidebars database (used for the browsing in the Sidebar/Tabs/Customize sidebar -> Available tabs), the others (I don't know, what is the difference betweeen sidebar.customize.directory.url and sidebar.customize.more_panels.url) should point at the HTML version of the sidebars database. Mozilla.org should create e.g. http://mozilla.org/sidebar/all-panels.rdf (good idea is generate *.rdf files dynamically from some database) with main categories (look e.g. at http://www.czilla.cz/sidebars/panels/all-panels.rdf for file example) and the HTML version e.g. http://mozilla.org/sidebar/index.html My proposal is to put the main EN categories in root and in the subfolder e.g. "International sidebars" should point to the non-english sidebars - these may be hosted on different servers, so mozilla.org will maintain only English sidebars and pointing to local Mozilla groups which will maintain sidebars in their languages (localized Mozilla's may point to their local database as root folder and have EN and other sidebars in the subfolder - so this is in the CZech Mozilla version now).
