now that's pretty big news! Score another for mozilla

I've haven't even heard of some of those langauges.

Looks rather cool! Out of the blue, to boot.

These 'zilla names are getting a bit out of hand, though...jeez.

What parts of this product will be released to be folded into the Mozilla code? Will it be a freebie?

There should be a brief announcement on the way to some newsgroups, for example netscape.public.mozilla.announce, which should explain this a bit more.

But no, it will not be a freebie. Most of the extra functionality will live in proprietary modules. Of course we will provide hooks in the common code for calling our modules.

We will also be doing part of the development in the open forums, for example DOM interests us a lot. These changes you will get for free, naturally.

As to the exact list of features that will be free and what not, we do not yet know.

And what about platforms? Will it be windoze only or will there be a port for say OS/2 and LINUX?

The first release will be for Windows (at least), but it is in our interestes as well to use XP code wherever possible.
