[Greasemonkey] Introducing Monkeygrease: The Server-Side Greasemonkey

[Rich Manalang]

Monkeygrease runs on a java app server. You can think of it as an Apache
module that looks at the requests and can modify the response based on a set
of rules. It really is very similar to Greasemonkey (in concept) minus the
user control. Monkeygrease targets the commercial off-the-shelf apps many
organizations run. Think of how many organizations have bought packaged
software that have major usability problems. It takes a lot to customize
some of these products without reverse engineering or having the proper
training. Monkeygrease allows you to fix some of these usability issues and
even make nice enhancements without touching the product, waiting for the
vendor to come up with a new release, or violate a support agreement with
that vendor.
