why not simply let the comunity devel firefox os for smartphone as a totally open source project in MDN house? do you think there isn't interest on this lovely OS? :-) [...] > This would > obviously imply that we need to "de-brand" all the relevant pages > since > it won't be called Firefox OS anymore as you point out in your > document. why? > If on the other hand we're just dropping everything and walking away > then there would be no point in maintaining it as nobody will be able > to > pick up the project without help and support from within Mozilla. please don't drop everything, I think a web based os of for smartphones, which are one of the most pervasive media out there, and others consumer stuff (tv, tablet, etc...) is a great thing. Built upon a standadized WEB api... I saw this as a great idea, and I like it and appreciate it. Ok, smartphone market is leaded by iOS and android, but with a little more effort and time Firefox OS may grow up. Today, web technologies, javascript and others storically 'client-side' goodies coming to 'server-side' (es. nodejs with REST and JSON API) supported by other interesting pieces (es. dockers), a web os seems to me an important step for a pervasive web environment. just my 2 cents :-) best regards, maurizio _______________________________________________ dev-fxos mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-fxos
