Hrmpf. My company - contracting for Lindows/Linspire at that time - started Nvu at a time XULRunner was must better supported by Mozilla than today. There were dozens of companies building apps above it. Do you mean they were all wrong to do it? Do you mean Mozilla never intended to create an ecosystem? That would be a drastic rewriting of what really happened, at a time you were not around IIRC. When I started BlueGriffon, the successor to Nvu, XULRunner was still _the_ way to embed Gecko into a native app, up to the point it had its own tinderbox. > Has Mozilla made general commitments about XUL or other Mozilla-specific > technologies suggesting it was a reasonable business decision for you ro > rely so profoundly on Mozilla's decisions? (I don't believe they have) Ok, this goes far beyond the rational discussion. I was raising an issue about a clear threat to several businesses of the Mozilla ecosystem, businesses that have been long-time partners and spread the Mozilla word all around the world and your words above are inducing clear doubts about the way these businesses were and are still managed, successfully for more than a decade. Maybe you should consider a word of apology, because this is clearly offending. > As a consequence, it looks like a very dangerous business decision to > depend on Mozilla's embeddability and support for some proprietary > technologies. What I said above. </Daniel> _______________________________________________ governance mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/governance
