Mozilla.org Releases Protozilla

An anonymous reader wrote in to tell us about Protozilla's release. "Protozilla enables Mozilla to execute any CGI program on the local disk directly, without passing it through an HTTP server." Its a strange little idea that could definitely simplify development.

mozilla.org did not release Protozila

[asa]

mozilla.org did not release Protozila (or Protozilla). This is an independent project that is being developed at mozdev.org. mozdev.org is not a part of mozilla.org.
From the mozdev front page:

mozdev.org is the location for development projects based on the open source Mozilla project. Anyone interested in Mozilla is welcome to look around and try out any of the more than 20 projects hosted on this site, and anyone working on a project is welcome to host their development here free of charge.
The projects currently on mozdev.org include a number of the development projects that Alphanumerica had been developing. After Alphanumerica's merger with CollabNet these development projects were integrated with SourceCast, CollabNet's project hosting tool, to create mozdev.org.

While this project is not being developed (or released for that matter) from within mozilla.org itself, it and other projects at mozdev demonstrate how mozilla technologies can be used and extended and how the community of mozilla developers has and continues to expand "beyond the browser".
