Mitch Kapor Warns Against Firefox Gloating

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the he-says-other-stuff-too dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Mitch Kapor, Lotus co-founder and president and chair of the Open Source Applications Foundation, says open-source advocates should be relatively cautious and avoid making claims and predictions despite the huge success of Firefox. He also briefly touches on Chandler in a ZDNet interview. Chandler is OSAF's personal information manager which will offer e-mail, calendaring, address and task management. The goal for Chandler, Kapor says, is to make it as successful and popular as Firefox."

    Didn't read the article, but seriously, how is this worth mentioning? Who wouldn't want to start a project that was as popular as Firefox?
