“Many people were concerned that Mozilla was turning into
bloatware and that this game seemed to be just one more thing being
thrown into this open source project. Many of those comments
clearly stated that Mozilla should be a good fast browser instead
of a gaming platform. We understand this concern, but we also
believe we can clarify matters with a little more information about
our gaming project.”
“PAGMAN will not be included in the Mozilla distribution. It’s a
stand-alone program that’s being created by an independent third
party (us!) as an exercise in writing an application to showcase
some of the features of the new Mozilla technologies. There are
several other organizations outside of Netscape that are exploring
the same kind of possibilities. One of the best examples is the
cross-platform Komodo Perl and Python IDE recently announced by
ActiveState that is being developed out of Mozilla
technologies….”
“The positive feedback we received showed us many people
were interested in our project, so we set up an environment that
would allow others to learn about what we are doing and allow them
to contribute to the project as well.“
“We created a page about Building A Game In Mozilla that
contains all relevant information about what we’re doing. A
mozilla-gaming mailing list was also created shortly after the
first article was published to allow people to talk about the
project. So far, about twenty people are discussing this
Mozilla-based game as well as other Mozilla-based gaming
topics.”
