I’d like to finetune my earlier statement - after talking things over a bit with Benjamin - to say: I’d like to volunteer if there’s no one else moving forward to take this project on.
The reason is that I’m not currently working on or using XULRunner tech, so my level of engagement is low. I’m only really interested in a gecko bootstrap binary (called ‘xulrunner-stub’ at the moment) to continue to exist for my future projects. If there’s someone who’s using XULRunner frequently for their projects, I’m sure she or he will be a much better fit! Please step forward. :-) Cheers, Mike. > On 29 Jul 2015, at 23:46, Mike de Boer <mdeb...@mozilla.com> wrote: > > I’d like to volunteer. > > Not much more to say, really :-) > > Cheers, > > Mike. > >> On 29 Jul 2015, at 20:30, Benjamin Smedberg <benja...@smedbergs.us> wrote: >> >> The Mozilla project no longer sees XULRunner as a priority project.
