Epilicious is an extension for the Gnome web browser Epiphany. It lets you synchronise your local bookmarks with the bookmarks in a Delicious account. It still a little rough around the edges (mostly due to the weirdness that is the del.icio.us API) but fully usable. As always with FOSS, use at your own risk!

Epiphany is hype, get over it at Raphaël Slinckx
To make it short, here is a summary of the killer features in epiphany 2.14
* Easy RSS subscription, integration with gnome programs (liferea, blam, straw)
* “Tagged” Bookmarks management (very Web 2.0)
* Adblock extension working out of the box
* HIG and gnome integration everywhere
* Simple and easy to understand preferences
* Light and responsive
* Very few popups, unobtrusive error pages are used instead
dogtail: taking your application for a walk
You can use dogtail for automating and testing web UI.
For example, you can write scripts that fill in forms on web pages, and obtain data back from the results.
This movie shows a script driving Epiphany to fill in a form on a website site.
The site in question is the front page of Google; the script carries out a search on Google and then logs the search results.
