Trunk's where all the fun is anyway ;)

WeirdAl, did you try setting up the latest Visual Studio 2005 Express edition ? It's free.

(From Alex: Not yet, although that is definitely on my to-do list!!!)

Chris: actually, that's sorta not true. The trunk will have Gecko developments, but the branch (or another branch?) will have Firefox 2.0 development, most of which will be in the front end and not in Gecko. It's not absolutely clear what's going to be happening -- I suspect they'll be discussing this in greater detail during next week's meetups -- but there's definitely still merit in being able to build the 1.5 codebase long-term.

Besides, there probably are people who want to have the experience of building Firefox themselves without also having to run unstable trunk code. That group will be pretty small, but it won't be non-existent.
