Hi all—

Unfortunately, Ubiquity development more or less halted last fall, 
corresponding to when two of the lead team (Brandon and I) went back to school. 
In addition, Mozilla has determined that Ubiquity will not be a strategic 
priority, at least for the near term. A lot was learned through the Ubiquity, 
project, though, and you can see a lot of the blood of Ubiquity running through 
Jetpack, and I encourage you all to closely follow that exciting project.

As you say, though, open source projects can be picked up by the community, and 
I hope that community development can continue.
