In all this talk about the future of XULRunner and Mozilla and Firefox nobody has mentioned Thunderbird. Can we just assume that Thunderbird is dead too?

It’s a good question. I It’s a good question. I can’t imagine they’ll kill it, but it certainly seems like an unwanted step-child, especially given Mitchell’s post… the question really is then: will Mozilla totally move away from non-Firefox application development?

@Chris Messina,
I don’t @Chris Messina,
I don’t think they’re putting much effort into it. It was one or two paid developers last time I heard.

I hack on a variety of Internet software. I am a part of the Free Software Movement. Right now I work on Songbird, but in the past I’ve worked on Flock, the hiptop and GNOME. I’m interested in internet client software that provides users new experiences, new architectures for web applications and security. I can offer uninformed opinions on most matters.
I’m slowly coming around to the opinion that it’s more important to try to write software that people will find exciting than software that people may find useful.
