Mozilla Foundation's Future: No Mozilla Suite 1.8

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the calling-it-quits dept.

batb0y writes "The Mozilla Foundation has published its Mozilla Application Suite transition plan, confirming that there will be no official Mozilla 1.8 release. There will be a 1.7.6 release to be maintained by the Mozilla Foundation. All future suite versions from the Foundation will be minor updates only." Don't despair, however, as there is already a community effort underway to continue development.

    From TFA:

    Our primary concern in the short term is with being able to ship a SeaMonkey front end on
    top of a Gecko

    That doesn't sound like a developer's list, that sounds like a post on alt.sex.zoophilia.

    It's not dead

    To quote Firefox's "about:mozilla" URI:

    • And so at last the beast
    • fell and the unbelievers rejoiced. But all was not lost, for from the ash rose a great bird. The bird gazed down upon the unbelievers and cast fire and thunder upon them. For the beast had been reborn with its strength renewed, and the followers of Mammon cowered in horror.

    Can someone please tie this into a Google conspiracy for me? I don't understand /. articles unless they somehow involve Google taking over the world.

    all-to-true

    You mean "all-too-true," but you get extra points for proper use of hyphens.

    There's more to life than grammar jackass, try getting laid some day.

    A few problems here: one missing comma ("grammar , jackass": direct address), and one comma splice (before "try getting laid": should be its own sentence). Also, you mean "someday," not "some day."

    P.S. I get laid plenty, my friend, though I don't mean that to sound egotistical or ... asswipey. The copyediting thing is just for fun.
