Hello Brendan & community, I've read the manifesto and I can say I definetely agree with the reasoning. Any project can balloon out of control and once a deadline comes in sight, you need to focus very clearly on your priorities.
I personally feel strongest about memleaks and performance. Regardless of how many standards are approved, if Mozilla isn't systemfriendly, people will not be using it. No need to become like Microsoft, right? Same reasoning applies to topcrash and dataloss bugs. These are annoying. With regard to features I'd like to see all of the current carpools go in, as well as PNG/MNG/JNG support and localization as far as possible. Note that language packs can be finished later but it would be good if 1.0 can be customized for much of the world. Pragmatically, I'd also target the most frequently reported bugs and the ones with the most votes since these are what annoys people. New standards doesn't have a great deal of priority for me. I honestly don't use DHTML or some of the other, relatively exotic standards since only a few pages out there apply it. I haven't run into a page that Mozilla couldn't render into something readable for a long time. Progress here is good, but Mozilla is ahead of the competition in this field already.
