Summary

1 Org Web Capture Extension ═══════════════════════════

This is an extension for Firefox (tm) and eventually Chromium (tm) which adds a "Capture" button, sending the site address, title, and selected text (if any) to emacs via org-protocol.

In case it's a meetup.com event page I will perform an additional API call to meetup.com and get the event details.
