The <a href="http://blogometer.com/svn/tbt/trunk/docs/howtos/developmentEnvironment.txt" rel="nofollow">instructions to build the Tag the Bird development environment</a> can be obtained from the Subversion repository through the web. The extension manager says that Tag the Bird is installed, and a configuration dialog will appear from the extensions interface. I don't seem to be able to find any tagging menu items or context menus from the folder or message view of Thunderbird. How does Tag the Bird work? I’ve followed the instructions that you created.

Basically I'm just linking to the #1 ressource for that topic on mozillazine.org. It should be easy to make a script in any language you like with the information that can be found there. Let me know, if you need help. I now committed a brief explanation for building. Basically I’m just linking to the #1 ressource for that topic on mozillazine.org.

How about creating that howto on how to build and install the plugin? If the steps are simple, could I create a shell script, Makefile or Ruby script that could do the build for us?

It should not be too difficult though - just have to find some time. For now, let's use and promote the URL I provided in my earlier comment, because it won't change, even with another feedmerger. I uploaded a build script for windows today. I don't know, what OS you guys are using, but if wanted I could upload a generic explanation too. Further I uploaded a first draft of a development environment howto. Let me know what you think or if you need any help.

For our convenience, I made the feed available through a URL on my domain: <a href="http://alexandrow.org/tagthebird.xml" rel="nofollow">http://alexandrow.org/tagthebird.xml</a>. Note that Feedshake is just a quick solution I want to suggest because of it's simplicity. If we decided, that we would need something more powerful, I could even program such a tool. However, I prefer to focus on TTB itself ;). About the comments: I fear without a selfwritten tool there's no way to include them in the feed, unless they are not in the individual feeds themselves. Could you include them in your feed? Another way would be, not to include the Comments into the feed, but update the Post's pubDate with every new comment. I'd even prefer that latter method, but of course I'm open to other arguments. I now created a combined feed of yours and mine (Frederic needs to send me some URL yet) using the Feedshake service.

I feel that we will do a fair bit of discussion in the comments. Looking forward to stepping through the XPI build.

Could you provide a RSS feed of all such postings in your blog? If so, I'll volunteer to set up the combined feed.
