We're just over a year old but the Mozilla project has been around for a long time. |
We've always been the development project that lived in a time pressured setting and always where commercial entities were relying heavily on releases in a certain time frame. |
We've broken the code base into logical chunks, called modules, and the foundation staff delegate authority for the modules to people with the most expertise. |
Well, there actually is a real effort underway right now with the development effort and a fair amount of planning and thinking. |
What we have is 95 percent there and what we are doing at the moment is actually polishing. |
With this reorganization, the Mozilla Foundation will look much more like the Apache Foundation than it currently does. |
Within that several-year time frame, if customers are interested in new features and maintenance, they should look at the new products and think about a migration strategy. |
You have to raise funds somehow. And once there's money in the picture, money is great because we all need it to live on. |
