Here are some nice graphics depicting the roadmap."

  1. Why not dump Mozilla for Firefox? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Why are they still working on Mozilla? IMHO, they should stop wasting efforts on it and turn their attention to Firefox and Thunderbird. All the new features go to Firefox and Thunderbird first and there's no reason to work on Mozilla. The Mozilla code is old and they should give it a rest. It's not 1999 anymore guys, get with the times. We don't want a bloated suite when we have sleek, fast programs. You can try all you want to port new Firefox and Thunderbird features to Mozilla, but why waste the time?

  2. Use NVU instead by int2str · · Score: 1, Redundant

    NVU [1] is a standalone version of the composer which is actively developed (probably more so than composer) and works nicely alongside Firefox.
