Journal The Great Wakka's Journal: Mozilla...

And the beast shall be made legion. Its numbers shall be increased a thousand thousand fold. The din of a million keyboards like unto a great storm shall cover the earth, and the followers of Mammon shall tremble.
from The Book of Mozilla, 3:31
(Red Letter Edition)

Hello, all. Haven't written here in a while, sorry, I've been busy....

But I have a couple of thoughts on Mozilla. In the coming months (the site is shooting for June, I think), 1.0 will be upon us. A lot of people in this thread seem to think it's a while off. But In My Humble Opinon, Mozilla 1.0 will be the first real triumph of Open Source. This is larger than Apache or Linux. Mozilla is software that endusers of workstations will use without having to learn a whole new, unfamiliar system. And with the pending Microsoft suit, it could be a real replacement for whatever webrowser you are using. The main obstacle to widespread Mozilla adoptation is the fact that not many people know it exists. So go ahead. Tell people. Lots of people. Spread the word. Personally, I think that 0.9.8 is a perfectly good browser (coulda called it 1.0 and pulled it off early). I foresee it not being adopted directly, but through one of its frontends (Netscape 6, Galeon). The main thing that the Mozilla people need to do with 1.0 is work on the interface. My other whiny wishlist for Mozilla can be found here.

What are you thoughts as we approach Mozmas?
