Re: Seeking Guidance for LibreJS Contribution and Bug Fixes

[Michael McMahon]

This topic is partially sidetracked with a misunderstanding. Issue 44 
[1] is not about disabling LibreJS, but instead about graphically 
changing the LibreJS extension icon when all JavaScript is successfully 
blocked from running by LibreJS.

[1] https://pagure.io/librejs/issue/44

For example if all JS is blocked, the LibreJS icon could be red using 
the traffic light system. If all JS is labeled for LibreJS and allowed 
or manually approved by the user, the LibreJS icon could be green. If 
some are allowed and some are blocked, the LibreJS icon could be neutral 
or yellow. Issue 44 is just about the first example where all JS is blocked.
