Staci si precitat poslednych 40% clanku a mne z toho vychadza (velmi
zjednodusene):
Aj samotni developeri vidia buducnost v FF+TB.
FF je teraz rychlejsie, krajsie ma viac extensions a hlavne kopcisko
dalsich sa planuje. Casom (leto, jesen[?] '04) nemude dovod pouzivat MB,
ak nieco neprekaza vyuzitiu FF - stabilita by mala byt vyrazne vylepsena.
TB(TH)-MM
detto ako vyssie s tym, ze v lete tu bude 1.0! (sme na 0.5), tym padom
zacina platit vyssie uvedene u FF.
Okrem toho sami DEV vidia, ze nie je dovod robit obrovsky balik, ale je
lepsie pre nich aj usera sustredit sa na FF a TB. + This picture shows
Mail as both an Application (inside a square) and an Extension (the
circle with an arrow pointing to the Browser application that Mail
extends). + preklad netreba :) - obrazok v linku
dalej vyberam:
Both classes of applications will be able to make use of the Gecko
Runtime Environment (GRE) to enable the sharing of a single installation
of Gecko. Applications may even share profiles, although the
inter-process communication work to support sharing profiles among
applications running in separate processes is not done yet (as of
1.7alpha). [ale coskoro bude :)]
The idea is to move from the over-integrated application suite to
simpler toolkit applications, to remove more advanced functionality from
the default configurations, but to provide robust tools for building
your own browser by layering those extensions that you want to use on
top of the base. In an attempt to avoid an explosion of unique builds
that have to be supported by mozilla.org, we will likely ship with all
of the popular extensions installed but disabled, so that they can be
easily turned on by those who wish to use them, and uninstalled by those
who don't.
# Firefox is simply smaller, faster, and better -- especially better not
because it has every conflicting feature wanted by each segment of the
Mozilla community, but because it has a strong "add-on" extension
mechanism. We recognize that different users need many different
features; such demand is legitimate on its face. Attempting to
"hardwire" all these features to the integrated application suite is not
legitimate; it's neither technically nor socially scaleable.
# What's good for the browser is good for the mail application, too.
Mozilla's integrated mail has many fine features, but it suffers from
too many integration points with the other apps, and it remains a
complicated front end maintained by too few people, most of whom have
different day jobs now.
Takze pokial to neprinasa velke komplikacie, resp. sa teraz ci v obdobi
par mesiacov prechdza (napr.) z IE + O/OE, tak sa UZ TREBA sustredit na
FF&TB. Za par mesiacov (najneskor september) to bude "jedina rozumna"
moznost. [samozrejme mame mutt a links :)]
