The Mozilla Foundation

Posted by michael on from the mozilla-uber-alles dept.

gemal writes "We're very pleased to announce the creation of the Mozilla Foundation, a non-profit organization that will serve as the new home for mozilla.org. The Mozilla Foundation will continue mozilla.org's work of coordinating the development of the Mozilla codebase. With an independent non-profit as the legal home for Mozilla, we will also promote the distribution and adoption of Mozilla applications and technologies. In addition, we will raise funds to ensure Mozilla's long-term survival." Update: 07/15 21:47 GMT by T : Yablo writes "MozillaZine is running a blurb about how since earlier today, when the Mozilla Foundation was created, AOL has laid off all the Gecko developers. Ex-mozilla.org has a list of the casualties."

    I thought there was already a non-independant, money grubbing based corporation in charge of the mozilla project? Is AOL just giving up?

    the new design looks, well, the decriptive words are inapropriate for general viewing.

    who picked those colors? christsake. grey, orange, light orange, light blue, red of the lizard logo... uhg. and none of the sections visually line up or lead to each other.

    thats one ugly website. too much dissimilar material on one page, which is quite an accomplishment considering the website is for one thing, and that is Mozilla.

    I'll continue using mozilla in linux, but hopefully i can avoid that website.

    well first you need a product better than internet explorer.

    ps: even if in your dreams mozilla is better than ie in the real world(TM) it is not.

    the end(TM)
