Status on Bible Toolbar nomination

Here’s an email received regarding Bible Toolbar’s public nomination status:
Tuesday, July 22, 2008 8:53 PMYour nominated add-on, Bible Toolbar, has been reviewed by a Mozilla Add-ons editor who decided to retain your add-on in the sandbox.

Comments: In order to prevent conflicts with other addons that may be installed by users, you need to wrap your “loose” variables and functions within a JavaScript object. You can see an example of how to do this @ http://blogger.ziesemer.com/2007/10/respecting-javascript-global-namespace.html.Thanks.
While the reason for rejecting Bible Toolbar’s public nomination doesn’t seem like a big deal, especially seeing how the Webdeveloper extension (which is extremely popular) had over 439 instances of this issue (according to the linked article in the email), it would be good to follow best practices in the Javascript community.
The linked article from the email has the information needed to do the proper variable cleanup in Bible Toolbar. If anyone would like to tackle this project and get things moving along, please use the contact form or leave a comment and let it be made known.

I’m just glad that it’s available for FF3 now. I had downgraded back to FF2 when I found that the toolbar wasn’t working on FireFox 3- now, I’ve gone back to FF3.
The Bible Toolbar is one of my top 10 favorite extensions. ^_^ Thanks so much for making it. I was concerned that you weren’t going to make an FF3-compatible version. Thanks for this useful addon. ^_^
