Yes. It’s official now. See Will’s meeting notes. And now it begins.

Today, we started money rewarding our developers for every bug/patch upstreamed to bugzilla.mozilla.org!

It simply means that beside of supporting Mozilla in their mission (to preserve choice and innovation on the Internet), we also joined the list of companies that are supporting Mozilla development by their employees worktime!!!

We’re very proud to be a part of the Mozilla world, we believe that we can do much more than previously to help in bugfinding and bugfixing of Gecko, Editor and Firefox, but we want to give more.

We see shared goals between Flock 1.0 and Firefox 2.0/3.0 that are not yet implemented in Fx, one of which is a places mechanism that we want to reuse as a backend for Favorites and another is inline spellchecking, and yet another is search service. We’re very bussy with Flock 0.7 (Cardinal) right now, but once we’re ready, we want to move to Firefox 2.0 as a base for next Flock release (Danphe) and a big part of the plan is to actually get involved into Firefox 2.0 development with above.

I hope that you can all see this clear signal: Mozilla, we *want* to help you! :)

Nice going, its a great idea. I hope to see a new version soon.

Nice move guys! Flock is a great browser (tool?) for blogging and such but it somehow doesnt feel right as a full webbrowser (don't ask me why, might be psychological).

I think it is great that you are giving the community who gave you alot (the base) something back - and you will again profit from it. Win-win situation: well done.

Keep up the good work!

How about Session Saver, additional tab browsing features and fully integrated rss functionality, extension manager ui and making flock faster
