Problems With the Firefox Development Process:

http://developers.slashdot.org/developers/...6/2232211.shtml

Mike Connor, one of the core Firefox developers, is raising a flag concerning the Mozilla Firefox methodology of development(1). From his blog: "In nearly three years, we haven't built up a community of hackers around Firefox, for a myriad of reasons, and now I think were in trouble. Of the six people who can actually review in Firefox, four are AWOL, and one doesn't do a lot of reviews." In an earlier entry(2), he raised concrete concerns about the community involvement. Asa Dotzler recently elaborated on the process(3), as previously covered on Slashdot(4)."
