LWN.net on Five Years of Mozilla

KaiRo (Robert Kaiser) writes: "LWN.net had a nice article about Five years of Mozilla in last Thursday's weekly news pages, which are now freely available. This is a nice line-up of current news, starting with Mozilla's birthday and bug 200000, the uses of Gecko, our webtools, mentioning Mitchell Baker's reaction to Safari, shortly discussing the new roadmap, and wrapping up with recently announced 1.4 Alpha and ideal release date of 1.4 final.

"In the whole, something nice to show somebody when you want to present in short what's happening to the Mozilla project currently."

#1 Kudos to the Mozilla

Ars Technica writes (http://arstechnica.com/archive/news/1050355957.html) that the first official release of the first web browser was released. So that means that the World Wide Web is only twice as old as Mozilla. Intuitively I would have thought that ratio was much more.
