Now that all of our software is open-source, we have started the process of moving it from our own source control repositories to projects hosted on Google Code. As well as easing the load on our servers, doing this helps to make our projects more visible to the wider open-source development community. The last of our projects to move is Sidewinder, which has been my main focus for the last three-and-a-half years.

In moving Sidewinder, we are also taking the opportunity to rename it to UBX: Ubiquity Browser eXtensions. The Ubiquity moniker is one that originated for Ubiquity XForms, our javascript XForms implementation that is being developed in partnership with IBM. Now we have decided to extend the name as a unified brand for all of our software projects.

The UBX project has now been created and we'll proceed to move the source code, documentation and isssue tracking across to the new project in the next few weeks.
