Scott continues to charge ahead and we get a sampling of his work with the latest thunderbird nightly build. No linux or mac builds yet (I just built it last night and have been using it all day on linux and it's great).
Via RasterWeb, the University of Washington is promoting Mozilla. Nice.
Indeed. Things are getting very very interesting at the TB front! Finally the folder pane got redesigned. A few more bugs solved, and I might make the switch from the ol' OE very soon.
I should try and post some positive comments somewhere sometime, 'cause he's doing some great work, but...
Moving ahead is good - charging ahead at the expense of other things isn't so great. BZ's blog - http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/bz/archives/003714.html - points out an ugly hack which Scott added to the GRE for Thunderbird. Having different GREs for the different apps is not good. Quick hacks might get us to Thunderbird 0.1 faster, but they'll push a Firebird/Thunderbird bundle with a shared GRE further away.
Not to mention that John Walkenbach (From J-Walk fame) has switched to Firebird too.
