I would like to say a few things related to this matter. Binaries are OK but the problem is that you cannot commit yourself to deliver binaries for every release. And that is something that people who maintain OI do not like. They want to be able to build firefox and deliver binaries to anybody interested. > B) You want to contribute What do you mean? > C) In order to get into a position to contribute FF related work, rather than > contributing and working on the src until it works, you expect _me_ to provide > it in fully functional manner!?? > > Does that make sense? > Nobody expects anything. I had compiled OpenOffice and immediately I released the patches I had to apply so that others could build it. That's what people want. On the other hand if you want to make money out of this, we can try to make found or something to help you financially. It happened in the TeX community with luaTeX where people found money and paid someone to write luaTeX from scratch. The final project is completely Open Source.
