I'd trade all the clever acronymns and extended metaphors in the world for a project name that actually says what it does. Would it kill people to give their project a meaningful name?
I thought I'd try out the HTML editor with Firefox this time around, so in the .mozconfig file I included the option to build the composer. The build crashed saying it could not find the Makefile for /mozilla/composer. Sure enough, that directory is almost completely empty. So I went over to mozilla.org to find the composer module to build with Firefox. There is no such thing, just a bunch of cute animal names. Do I want Thunderbird? No, any fool can see that Thunderbird means "mail". What about Sunbird? Of course, it's a calendar. Or perhaps "Seamonkey"? Yes, it includes an HTML editor... as well as a browser, email client, calendar, news client, flux capacitor... no way to have JUST the composer. OK, rant over. What I came here to ask was, does anybody know how the projects fit together? Is Seamonkey just a superset of the other mozilla.org projects that includes Firefox, or is it a totally separate browser product? If I build Seamonkey will I get current Firefox code as the browser portion? If not, can I pull just the composer part of Seamonkey out of its directory and put it in my Firefox source tree for a combined build? And what if I do decide to build Thunderbird? Can that go in the same source tree with Firefox and get built at the same time, or is it better to build them separately? -- Peter B.
