register.js is unable to load, rendering Bespin unusable (nothing can be accessed past the first page). This seems to be due to the use of window.globalStorage resulting from the following call:

var server = bespin.get('server') || bespin.register('server', new bespin\
.client.Server());

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load page
2. Check error console (and note that the page does not work as intended)
3.

Since this bug was filed, Bespin has gone through a reboot process wherein much code has changed. Since this bug was never confirmed, its existence may not have been verified.

I ask the original reporter, or anyone else familiar with the bug, to confirm whether the bug continue to exist in Bespin's code today.

You can pick up the latest code here:

ACETRANSITION

The Skywriter project has merged with Ajax.org's Ace project (the full server part of which is their Cloud9 IDE project). Background on the change is here:

http://mozillalabs.com/skywriter/2011/01/18/mozilla-skywriter-has-been-merged-into-ace/

The bugs in the Skywriter product are not necessarily relevant for Ace and quite a bit of code has changed. For that reason, I'm closing all of these bugs. Problems that you have with Ace should be filed in the Ace issue tracker at GitHub:
