After having read the above posts, I think you're all pretty much missing something. A few people claim stupid end-users can't tell the difference between a relational database and a web browser. And yes, so may be it. But end users do not use Mozilla/Phoenix/Firebird - end users use Netscape. Or at least are they supposed to.
Mozilla is for people who want to be part of the development of a leading web browser, they are the ones who write code and report bugs. Normal end users do not do this. So there is no reason for end users to use Mozilla (if we disregard the fact that Mozilla is _so_ much better than Netscape Communicator.) As for Firebird it is more or less the same thing, especially now when Mozilla is split up. If you want to test a browser for bugs, you know what you're doing, and you're not going to download some database software.

Yep, and Swedes make exactly the same jokes about Norwegians.

Shamelessly copied from http://braathens.com
Do you know...
* Why the Norwegian laughed on Wednesday?
- He was told a joke on Monday!
* Why Norwegians bring ladders to the stores?
- Because of the high prices!
* Why Norwegians walk in the middle of the road?
- Because they are afraid of the wild flowers at the roadside!
* Why Norwegians keep their hands in their pockets?
- They're afraid to show that their fingers don't have equal length!

Footnote: If you haven't understood the first joke by now, I'm afraid you are Norwegian...
Darl, oh Darl!
I heavily encourage starting such a project. Too bad I don't have the coding skills (or so I think) to help you out.
No. You would have to go buy yourself an AK47 with builtin MP3-player. Terrorism, you say? Just what open-source is about
