Alex Faaborg has written about CoScripter over at the Mozilla Labs site. CoScripter is a new Firefox extension, and Alex describes it as follows:

What do you get when you mix one part automation, one part natural language interpretation, two parts programming by demonstration, and three parts online collaboration? If you stir all of these research areas together and toss in some XUL, you get one of the most innovative extensions for Firefox: CoScripter.

CoScripter was created by a research team at IBM led by Allen Cypher, and it allows you to record your actions on the Web, play them back, and share them with others. For instance, one popular script quickly automates the process of adding your phone number to the national do not call registry.
