Eazel might know - I am almost certain no-one else does. We have no idea
which bits of Mozilla/APIs etc. Nautilus uses.

Where is this "Netscape community" of which you speak? I see it not. ;-)
Also, the current release of Mozilla is Mozilla 0.8, NOT Milestone 19. The
milestone naming scheme was abandoned after Milestone 18, since when we
have had Mozillas 0.6, 0.7 and 0.8.
Netscape the company are normally very tight-lipped about their release
schedules. People who know aren't telling. However, rumour is that
Netscape will release Netscape 6.5 on the back of Mozilla 1.0, which
should be Q2 2001. We hope.

The Mozilla roadmap is at http://www.mozilla.org/roadmap.html .
mozilla.org recommends that people target Mozilla 0.9 for beta releases of
software.
