Mozilla fever!

[Jason Clinton]

Woohoo! I'm so proud of the Mozilla project. Yesterday, the Mozilla team
announced it's intentions to take Mozilla to the next level. The Mozilla
Suite will be broken in to major subcomponents:

* A standalone browser based on the mozilla/toolkit XUL user
interface named Phoenix
* A standalone mail component also based on mozilla/toolkit name
Thunderbird
* A rock solid "Gecko Runtime Environment" on which the above
applications and others like Calendar, Composer, and ChatZilla can all
run (kind of like the Java Run Time environment, except Gecko is a
Javascript, XUL, memory management and networking interface.)

There are additionally plans to port Venkman and the DOM Inspector over
to Phoenix. The Mozilla team also wants to make the individual
components more modular. There's even some mention that Scalable Vector
Graphics (YES!) will be a major priority to be included in the Gecko
Runtime Environment (GRE). (This may finally mean device independant
web/interface design.)

Death to Internet Explorer!
