Gotta wait until April, but they're gonna have EBN live.
Mozilla has degraded into being a joke.
Really? Or is it your patience that's the joke? You didn't complain when the GIMP or the Linux kernel took this long to develop, I'd wager, so why this?
Does anyone still follow this project or care about it? In my opinion it is a dead project.
It's as dead as Linux; live with it.
AOL might as well repurpose the internal developers working on it to some useful end.
They've done just that. The internal developers are working on a browser which will soundly whoop the virtual ass of any browser which comes forth to challenge it in the foreseeable future. By the way, check the nightly builds if you think it's so "dead"; last I checked it was actually doing quite well.
Get it through your head, people: GOOD SOFTWARE TAKES TIME. You can't have this "gimme gimme gimme" attitude all the time; it doesn't work that way. Mozilla could release their browser right now, but you'd complain about it becaue the UI is unfinished and there are still more than a few problems to be worked out (though actually it's working impressively well for something at that stage in the development cycle; you forget that Open-Source development, at least in terms of the initial cycle, takes much longer than other models; the advantage only comes later, when it's time for maintenance, adding features to a solid underpinning, and upgrading).
