Comments: Mozilla: The Next Generation

They won't obsolete this whole effort... In the best case, they may take care of release procedures, or at least play their role in those, with letting the community help out in a few areas. If they are very nice, they'll even do that for future releases.

Future development of SeaMonkey needs people who are doing the development work though, and everybody who can help (also means someone not knowing stuff yet but willing to learn it) is appreciated and needed.

Well, if you are a competent javascript programmer, you could help the suite more than you think.

A lot of the C code of the suite lies in the core components that are shared with Firefox/ThunderBird.
Even if MoFo let's down the suite, they will still be updated and stabilized. What is specific to the suite is mostly the XUL and the javascript on top of those components.

It is a good thing to stop mozilla 1.8 final,
work should be continued on firefox and thunderbird
and various projects.

(From Alex: Well, there are certain parties who want stable milestones of the Mozilla Application Suite. Including corporate customers.)
