myk, The link you provided mentions a grant... with a link to another page. That page doesn't have but one instance of the word mozilla. So in your position being on the mozdev board, you should know about the grants mozdev received... ie. I'll take your word for it. The wide gap I spoke of is seen through the whitelisting of amo, and mozdev not being on equal footing. The warning received is the same one you would get with a porn site when installing. That's offensive. Mozdev addons deserves a friendlier warning... if one must be there. Like "This website is known to the mozilla organization but a new unknown menace could exist... click here to proceed anyway." If mozilla hires some full time testers... then the issue is also moot. Code contests here at mozdev with monetary prizes for the acceptable winning submissions... could do some great things... both for mozilla and mozdev. Like finding the next mozilla engineers. 3 million in prizes? How about 1/20th of that. Just a suggestion. Okay... I'm tired. It's late. Probably a horrible idea... Thanks for the response myk. john _______________________________________________ Project_owners mailing list [email protected] https://www.mozdev.org/mailman/listinfo/project_owners
