On a separate thread, Dees posted this recent note from Paul Irish: https://plus.google.com/113127438179392830442/posts/fR3iiuN4kEF It is a passionate call to action: apps are real and the web is in urgent danger. I could not agree more. When I read it I felt motivated to evangelize but then I read this in one of the top comments and felt even more motivated:
"There's the Chrome App Store, which is Chrome-specific ... there's Mozilla Marketplace, which is gratuitously Mozilla-specific …" I know this person is just misinformed but we absolutely *must* communicate that Mozilla is building an open apps platform. We're not building a Mozilla specific platform. The recent press on Firefox OS has been great. The press really seems to understand that we're trying to disrupt the mobile space with a new device. I've seen some passionate blog posts from developers too. However, I do not see people communicating exactly how our apps are fully portable to any HTML5 compliant device. It's simple: some app seller issues a receipt and the receipt is cryptographically verifiable. It's not tied to Mozilla's marketplace. We will be one marketplace out of many and the Firefox OS phone will be one compliant device out of many. So here you go: https://blog.mozilla.org/webdev/2012/09/14/apps-the-web-is-the-platform/ If there are any corrections needed, please let me know. -Kumar _______________________________________________ dev-webapps mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-webapps
