Problems With the Firefox Development Process

Posted by Zonk on from the eyes-on-the-prize dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Mike Connor, one of the core Firefox developers, is raising a flag concerning the Mozilla Firefox methodology of development. From his blog: "In nearly three years, we haven't built up a community of hackers around Firefox, for a myriad of reasons, and now I think were in trouble. Of the six people who can actually review in Firefox, four are AWOL, and one doesn't do a lot of reviews." In an earlier entry, he raised concrete concerns about the community involvement. Asa Dotzler recently elaborated on the process, as previously covered on Slashdot."

    You really shouldn't post and respond to your post in the same post. Unless it has a link to Natalie Portman's succulent bare breasts.

    That is all.
