Gnome, Mozilla and the Challenge of Longhorn

Gnome 2.x
Gnome 2.x

With lots of talk recently about mono/java/python, it seems like a response to Longhorn and XAML is brewing. People at mozilla are talking about how to create an alliance against the hegemon. Co-operation with gnome is discussed on mozillazine. I do hope that gnome can use the XUL language or something like it so that gui programming is easy for us mere mortals. Lets not re-invent the wheel reproducing XAML when we've already got XUL!

Re: Gnome, Mozilla and the Challenge of Longhorn

Let's be honest.

The gecko engine doesn't fully support gtk+ to date.

It's not shipped separately so that ephy or galeon can make use of it while losing the overweight of the entire mozilla when loading a gnome browser.

There are so many things that need to be done, before we even think of an alliance.
