Firefox developers shrink desktop apps
,----[ Quote ]
| ONE OF THE DRIVING forces behind the development of FireFox is shorely the
| developer crowd and its never-ending ability to write new add-ons for the
| browser contender.

|
| It would also give users a bit more control over what they have (or haven’t)
| installed on their smallish SSD drives. With everyone jumping on the UMPC
| bandwagon, there are plenty of places for the the ferret to go.

You've heard of KDE (the K Desktop Environment)? How about an MDE (hint:

| I'm a total beliver in the idea of a BBDE (browser-based desktop
| environment) and I think the slashdot entry hits the nail precisely
| on the head; the most difficult cat to skin in making a BBDE a
| reality is the persistence mechanism. I'd also add to that the
| notion of mobility. True viability of any BBDE will depend on its
| ability to survive the rigors of mobile use. Translated, you have
| to be able to keep your data (and applications) on something like
| a USB-key and your data and apps have to be accessible as though
| you are online, even though you may be off-line.

How Should Mozilla Execute Its Vision?
,----[ Quote ]
| The announcement by the GNOME Foundation that it is appointing Stormy Peters
| as its Executive Director confirms a suspicion that I've harboured for a
| while: that we are witnessing the evolution of major open source projects
| into new kinds of players in the computing world, ones that require full-time
| staff not just to run them, but also to articulate what exactly they are
| trying to do beyond the code.
|
| The pioneer in this field is obviously the Mozilla Foundation, which has
| grown from an apparently doomed attempt to hack the original Netscape
| Navigator code into something half-usable, to a high-profile, media-savvy
| outfit that is not just winning market- and mind-share, but starting to frame
| many of the most important discussions within the open source world.
