Sorry for the dearth of posts here. I've been pretty busy at work the last couple of days. We're coming up on the 1.6 beta freeze soon and I've got lots of catching up to do.
There's lots of exciting work going on at the Mozilla Foundation.
One really cool development that I've been working on (well, leaf's done all the work, I'm just tetsing) is a new system for Mozilla nightly builds that will put tinderbox machines on build duty, cranking out and posting builds every hour. The goal will be to push one official nightly build each morning to the regular location and then push builds as fast as the tinderbox can make them to a special location. This should make tracking down a regressions a lot easier.
I'm also working with myk to design a webtool for managing test cases and test result tracking. We're in the early stages but I'm very enthusiastic.
In Firebird news, you probably already know this, we've got a Windows installer and a super-slick new Mac theme. Great work Ben and Kevin.
I'll try to get back to daily postings ASAP. I've also got plans to try to set up a mechanism for storing (with a cookie) the blog theme so you don't have to manually switch every time if you like one of the alternates. Not sure whether that's gonna happen right away, though, because it'll require I do some learning about cookies. If any of you have any good suggestions for documentation or would be willing to help out, I'd be happy to hear from you.
