Gnome, Mozilla and the Challenge of Longhorn

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: Mozilla developer documentation is lacking

Another problem is that Mozilla developer documentation is hard to find. It's almost 2 years after Mozilla 1.0 release and good documentation is still hard to come by.

Speaking of which, Nigel McFarlane's book: Rapid Application Development with Mozilla, is now available as PDF download from Bruce Peren's Open Source Series at InformIT's host homepage:

Hopefully more docs like his will be available so that we can attract more XUL developers. Btw, please support the author and buy the book if you find it to be useful.
