It seems you can't get the part without kissing up by saying nice things about Jar Jar, but you shouldn't have the part if you do like it. What's and adolescent trying to get the part to do?
It seems to me that this is what the whole open source movement is all about. If we can feel that we have the same technology as the governments and big business, then we have much less to fear. I hope to see lots of Oss developers at this one!
Admittedly there is a maximum number of core programmers for a project before it becomes muddled, but one of the big advantages of OSS is that anyone with a keyboard can fix the little bugs that crop up. I'm not saying that once Mozilla is stable people will flock to join the team, but that people will start using and patching it.
I'm not saying put out a crappy browser. I'm saying the exact opposite. Put out a quality, less functional browser. Then build upon that. I'll bet Mozilla would gain more support, patches and coders that way.
Mozilla sounds like a great project, but unfortunately I need a browser NOW that is reliable enough for me to check/. ever 15 minutes or so:). Rather than writing a program which is so versatile(which is a good thing don't get me wrong). How about making one thing fully functional at a time.
Anybody read The Long Walk also by Richard Bachman(a.k.a Steven King). Running man was an alternative to prison(If I remember correctly) These people are choosing their own fate.

Lynx is a great browser but sometimes, in todays web, we need to see graphics.
I'm not saying that this isn't a good approach to software engineering. Just that in this case it's not working
