There are a few Gecko alternatives out there (Blink, Webkit, just to name two that I've heard of.. then we come to the murky-i-don't-know territory that is Trident et. al). However, changing our interfaces from Gecko to use anything else is just as difficult to do (and dare I say, impossible given our resources (or lack thereof)). And anyway, in this day and age, we live in an ever-changing environment and thusly the backend would tend to change accordingly. (There is a reason for it being called 'rapid release'). > Because I don't like the impression I'm getting that the slope is rising > and that the trend is not in our favor! The slope has ALWAYS been rising and until we find more resources to flatten this slope by brute force *grin*, it's gonna be that way. "not as much as a slope.. it's more close to a cliff than a slope." :) (not really funny considering our predicament, but life's short.. gotta laugh at the steep/vertical slopes.. :D) [kinda taken from "Bottoms" quote : "Steep? It's Effing Vertical!"] Edmund _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
