Reading blogs is fun, but staff meeting minutes is definitely the preferred way of keeping track of mozilla developments.

> mscott and chofmann hired last Monday. Hey that's really great! I like these meeting notes very much, compact and clear information.

Can anyone tell me what is meant by "not 501c3 yet"?

501c3 is apparently something to do with being a non-profit organisation.

"issued discussed" should be "issues discussed". I only point this out because the error is being carried forward from each MZ article about Mozilla minutes...

Thanks, dodgy cutting and pasting is all part of the service here at MozillaZine!

#6 Free alternative to TalkBack

Ximian GNOME provides bug-buddy hooked up to all of its applications. If they crash, it generates a backtrace and walks them through reporting the bug. Very similar to what FullCircle Talkback does. It's available at:

The problem is Mozilla also works on Windows and Mac and in fact most of its downloads are on a Win32 platform, will this also work on these platforms?

Actually, as I understand the discussion on n.p.m.seamonkey, the main problem with bug buddy is that it requires extra information to be included in the excecutable, which corresponds to a significant increase in the download size.
