My experience with open source tells me that, most likely, had it been open sourced, it'd stil be stuck at 0.3b.
Considering how much I rely on Firebug, I have no qualms paying for it. -----Original Message----- From: Sam Collett <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sat, November 18, 2006 3:38 am To: jQuery Discussion. <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [jQuery] Firebug 1.0 coming soon On 18/11/06, John Resig <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I'll take that as a 'no' then? > > Yeah, unfortunately.

If Firebug was open source (as in other developers work with it via SVN and it was hosted at somewhere like SourceForge) I am sure it could have actually been like 1.0 will be but much earlier (and for free). I'll probably end up sticking with the current version when 1.0 comes out as I think it is good enough for my needs now. _______________________________________________ jQuery mailing list [email protected] http://jquery.com/discuss/ _______________________________________________ jQuery mailing list [email protected] http://jquery.com/discuss/
