maybe as an extension available via the installer? this doesn't belong in the core UI

I'm going to try to implement this into an extension, the current plan for cookies will use some p3p influence, but will not have the ubergeek config options. The extension will override that UI and replace with something more useful.

Summary: implement p3p in firebird → implement p3p in Firefox

so I changed my mind. Also since p3p isn't built by default anymore, the extension idea is a lot more complicated.

At this point I suggest to wait for the 1.1 specification to be released...

at this point, p3p might be getting removed from default seamonkey builds as well, and by might, I mean probably will. Its unmaintained, and of dubious benefit to users. If there is a 1.1 spec coming out, I seriously doubt Mozilla will ever be compliant based on the complete lack of ownership or desire to make this work.

(In reply to comment #6) > At this point I suggest to wait for the 1.1 specification to be released... Note that you don't have to wait for the 1.1 Specification as it will be 100% backwards compatible. So it is possible to implement P3P 1.0 and augment it later with the features of 1.1.

The music is in the full P3P implementation, not only in the compact format. Privacy Bird showed that it can be implemented. Before removing anything, we might want to look for a new maintainer.

rigo: are you volunteering?

any spec that bases privacy protection on the honour system screams dubious benefits to me, but that's not really the point here. If someone wants to step up and maintain the code, feel free. As it stands, no one wants to, no one has. At this point there's a good chance it'll just bitrot and get cvs removed. If you post to the primary newsgroup for a project and no one utters a peep other than "seems like a good idea" including w3 members, its a good sign there won't be a maintainer anytime soon.

(In reply to comment #10) > rigo: are you volunteering? I'm looking into finding people (and perhaps funding). I see that in the actual community there is not enough interest. This is important for me to know so I can look into getting new people (and a maintainer)

P3P is not the honour system you might imagine. If you lie in your privacy policy, at least most western countries provide some legal sanctions. As I'm from a EU-context, we have even more impressive instruments to correct those making incorrect statements. If there is no policy, you can't even compare intention and reality. 22 pages of legalese in a privacy policy have proven to be less beneficial to a consumer than P3P ;) For the rest, it is clear that there is no maintainer and nobody inside the existing community that is interested. So I will go out trying to find someone. Implementing privacy in an user interface might change the browsing experience considerably. Make them feel to be in control is the goal.

You might also be interested in the PrivacyFox-extension: http://privacyfox.mozdev.org/ The project (in which I am not involved, but I just stumbled upon it) aims to create a Firefox-extension like AT&T's Privacy Bird. The project already has a document at http://privacyfox.mozdev.org/PaperFinal.pdf and a working extension. I do not know the status of the code and how complete it is (I guess it is in early stages of development; the project seems to be started in December 2004).

Just wanted to see if anyone was working on this. Either way, a good source of info can be found in AT&T's source code for Privacy Bird which can found found here: http://www.privacybird.com/dist/privacybird-source.tar.gz as mentioned in their FAQ: http://www.privacybird.com/#support One note: the file is roughly 25 MB.
