Jamie Zawinski announces his resignation from the mozilla.org
project.

“April 1st, 1999 will be my last day as an employee of the
Netscape Communications division of America Online, and my last day
working for mozilla.org.”

“I can come up with a litany of excuses and explanations for why
we are so late”

“The Mozilla project has become too depressing, and too painful,
for me to continue working on. I wanted Mozilla to become something
that it has not, and I am tired of fighting and waiting to make it
so. I have felt very ineffectual, and that’s just not a good
feeling. For those of you who choose to continue, I wish you all
the best of luck.”
