Patch Maker -- Mozilla Hacking & Patching Made

A reader writes: " Mozillaquest.com has an article about Patch Maker which is a new Perl script that let's you hack the Mozilla UI using JS, CSS, and XUL. You do not have to download or compile the source code or pull CVS. It makes writing and submitting Mozilla UI patches easier."

Off Topic, but necessary

The worst terrorist attack ever just happened less than a month ago, and the start of WW3 is going on as I type this, and you people are talking about a Perl script for Mozilla?!?

You are absolutely right, we should not worry about things that are "necessary" for our world to continue as it does, and instead just spend all our time and effort being concerned with the attacks/military action.

WRONG. That is exactly what the terrorists want us to do - that will give them a higher degree of satisfaction. In order to give them the symbolic finger, we have to persist in our day-to-day activities. After all, there are people to whom our tax dollars go who work on the issues at large.

To beat this horse just a little bit more, don't forget that the Slashdot community was perhaps the greatest beacon for information when the attacks took place. I am sure that it will continue to play an appropriate role as things unfold, but it's wheels will never stop turning. That's what makes it, and America so great, we never sit down and take it.

Mozilla is still poop

I don't know for sure they have nothing to gain, but I find it unlikely that they do. Even if that was the case, quite a lot of what they say is true. Mozilla is a pretty piss-poor example of an open source project, I don't think anyone being honest could say development pace has been swift, and conducted in a well ordered, logical way.
