“During the LinuxWorld Expo in New York, I sat down with David
Boswell and Pete Collins, two key players in the Mozdev.org group,
a developer’s group closely related to, but not the same as, the
Mozilla Project.”
“For those of you who were not with us a few years ago, the
Mozilla Project is the open source organization that sprang into
being after Netscape Communications made its announcement that it
was releasing the source code for its Netscape Communicator 5
application in 1997. This collection of code is referred to as
Mozilla, and the open source community that manages it is the
Mozilla Project.”
“Mozdev.org is a separate open-source project, but it is tightly
integrated with the original Mozilla Project. While the Mozilla
Project focuses on changes and improvements to the base Mozilla
code itself, Mozdev.org creates a collaborative development
envirnoment for applications that can be developed from the Mozilla
code.”
“And if you think that browsers are all that’s coming out of
Mozilla, you’re in for a surprise.”
