kerz writes "mozilla.org today released a new version of it's famed roadmap, this time with some pretty major changes. First and foremost, they plan on ditching the large Mozilla suite in favor of Phoenix and Minotaur. Secondly, they have plans to change the milestone cycle to allow for more time to fix the Gecko layout engine to be smaller and more efficient. MozillaZine has the scoop..."

  Some kind of Japanese Web Browser that manages to trample all over other processes on a Microsoft Windows machine.

  It's like IE, but with tabbed browsing and without wormholes.
  
  There are wormholes in IE? Can I use these to go between work and home faster? Wow, this will really increase my productivity. I can use that extra 1 1/2 hours each day playing the new Zelda.

  Sadly, in most corporate environments, all wormholes only lead to the boss's office... or to the marketing department meeting.

  Yes, using the wormholes in IE you can run proigrams on your work computer while you're at home. It works just like SSH without that pesky authentication junk!

I was wondering how they would justify taking 5 years before reaching 2.0. Now we know :)

Seriously though, good idea. I'd love to see the whole Mozilla project turned into a Gecko app and everything else be plugins! Now that'd be cool!

7. Profit!

Ok, I admit to adding 6 and 7.

I just wish they'd also separate out Mozilla Composer and make the basic no frills standalone HTML editor the world needs.
Like Notepad?
