Ouch. I can see how someone would be embittered by this; I'd be less-than-thrilled, I know that much. Still, even my brief acquaintance with the Mozilla project reveals that it's an insanely complex (in part because decentralised) undertaking. The things about which you are concerned aren't /un/important; they're just not /as/ important right now. The tendency of the newsgroups I've been reading suggests that what's important right now is functionality, stability, speed, and making sure everything works across an abundance of platforms. > even when i have taken the time to review the options in the menus for > suggest a reorder of them; and build/draw some screenshots about a toolbar > builder for shut up to all those kids who wants a toolbar able to be > customizated. I do agree that the UI can certainly use work, but that's more a matter of 'polish'. I don't think anyone involved in the project would say that the UI doesn't matter, but I suspect that more intensive work on it is being put off until after the 1.0 milestone. (I could, of course, be entirely wrong on this point, however.) > well, since they told me that, i erased latimoz from the server and i ve > dedicated to try make them see that all their work, of five years, could go > to the trash(forever) if they doesnt allow me to show where is the > error(even when i believe i already did it) and the way to follow. Even taking your discomfort with English into account (and, trust me, it's still /way/ better than my Spanish, which is next to non-existent), isn't it the height of arrogance to say that all the work of however many hundreds of programmers, &c, over several years could go to waste if they don't allow /you/ to show them the path they should be following? > All i know right now, i am going to laugh if mozilla 1.0 is what i think is > going to be. An evil laugh by the way... That would, at the very least, be petty . . . and quite possibly vindictive.
