After The GNOME Bounties, It's Mozilla's Turn
MikeCapone writes "Slashdot had an article about the GNOME bounties a few days ago, but now, thanks to the Shuttleworth Foundation (created by Mark Shuttleworth, the guy who went into the ISS as a Soyuz cosmonaut a couple of years ago), the Mozilla project also has some monetary incentives. The budget for 2004 is USD$100,000."

Dude, this is like so little cash. This is roughly the salary of one person for a year. In exchange for that, you get hundreds of worker bees.
$100K for a year will hire maybe two contractors or one really good contractor. Contractors don't usually charge per task, either, but per hour - so you don't have any guarantee this way that the code will be done either.
I claim first use of "Error No. 0B" - or "No. 0B error." It'll be the new ID 10T!
No, the problem is not hotmail, it's that the "one browser window" idea that tabs were supposed to make possible is not possible with respect to javascript-created windows. That has nothing to do with standards conformance, since "tabs" in themselves are not part of any web standard. They're just an adaptation of the "window" model into a better organizational system.
