Mozilla Development Roadmap
It's been a while since I've posted about Mozilla. However, I haven't become less of a fan.
Mozilla recently turned five. I was using the original milestones my freshman year in college, four years ago. I loved Mozilla then, and I still love it now. A great program built by the people for the people that was useful and felt like you were giving it to the man at the same time made it my browser of choice. As a tech on campus, I eagerly awaited the Netscape releases built on Mozilla code and rolled them out as soon as possible. I preached web standards and increased my knowledge as much as possible. Mozilla became my most favorite application of all time.
And then I installed phoenix. It was mozilla but better. Open a whole series of tabs in a window with a single click? I was there. Clean interface, easy to use, small footprint. Beauty.
Over the last few weeks Phoenix development has slowed down. Suddenly, though, today, the new Moz roadmap was published. Mozilla and Phoenix will be merged, with Phoenix becoming one of the central development items. I couldn't be happier. This will lead to nothing but good things.
