Yes, I complained about this to Mozilla and they said if SeaMonkey hit 1
million download they'd put it next to Firefox on their front page,
which is BS since people can't find it easily, I told them that and that
previously SeaMonkey was next to FireFox on Mozilla front page, but they
played the fool. I think is because Goocle Chrome passed FireFox
downloads in 1 month/week and they want to boost FF download number.


Philosophically, I think this boils down to two things.

1.  The desire of Mozilla to promote Firefox as a brand and downgrade 
SeaMonkey to a project rather than a product.  It's a brand identity 
thing.


2.  The SeaMonkey brand is little known in the community 
comparatively.  And Mozilla probably (I'm guessing now) would rather not 
detract from the Firefox brand by acknowledging SeaMonkey's existence at 
all.  It is the little engine that could.  But they give it scant 
support so how could they support it other than Web resources, 
developmental infrastructure, etc. and still achieve their desired 
branding goal of having Firefox be their premier product?  They can't.


Just my tow cents, adjusted for inflation.


Personally, I find this and affront.  Practically?  I understand.

It wasn't available. And it would be news to me if it was now. Last time
I checked, it was still owned by the same guy that wouldn't hand it over
to us, even though he hadn't placed a live site under that domain for ages.

And apparently that's still true, I just checked again.

Yes, that IS too hard.  When a reader gets to the listing of the other
Mozilla (Firefox) and the other Mozilla e-mail client (Thunderbird), you
should see SeaMonkey.


(You're apparently thinking of the hardness of clicking along on a path you

No, I think NoOp was commenting on how hard it was to locate any

I went to http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/ and did a Find in This Page
for Products (yes, without the quote marks).  That word does not
appear on the page.

In the top-right corner of http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/, there is the
word Mozilla with a V.  Selecting that, a header area appears with a
list of Products and other lists.  However, Products is not a link;
and clicking it does not have any effect.

Instead, to the left of the Products list is a list headed Mozilla.
 Under that list is Projects.  To get the Mozilla Products — Built by
us, for the Web — mozilla.org page, it is necessary to select
Projects.  This is clearly NOT intuitive.  Since when do Projects =
Products?  And if they do equal each other, why in the header area are
they in separate lists?

Right. It isn't and never was. It's a volunteer-only project that is 
only loosely backed by Mozilla with some infrastructure resources.



When you do get to the page, SeaMonkey is spelled 'Seamonkey'. Not only
do Mozilla dis SeaMonkey by hiding it three obscure pages in, but then
they spell it with a lowercase 'm'.


That lowercase m on the recently created 
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/projects/mozilla-based/ page is a bug and 
should be reported as such (websites product, mozilla.org component), 
the site maintainers are surely happy to correct that.



My we are a select  special project group aren't we?


Yes, we are. And an independent one at that.

The exact URL and number of clicks does not matter in this case. What he

Actually, that changed in the One Mozilla website program, while 
mozilla.org is still trying to link other initiatives, the team moved 
back the main product pages of Firefox, Firefox for Android, 
Thunderbird, and entry pages to other products such as Firefox OS, 
Persona, etc. into the main mozilla.org site offering, so that it's way 
heavier in promoting those. Also, with the increase of the Mozilla 
portfolio to include more products, volunteer-only loosely coupled 
projects like SeaMonkey have less of a chance to be largely featured.


And I'm not even talking yet about which products or projects are more 
fit to master the challenges of the rapidly changing world of today's 
web and which are less fit for doing that (hint, for the latter, they 
might look better there if their contributors would help to make them 
fit by innovating on top of the established base).

No. The trademark SeaMonkey (as well as the logo) is registered by the 
Mozilla Foundation in the US, EU and Japan for the SeaMonkey project. 
The brine shrimp are registered as a trademark under Sea-Monkeys, in 
plural and with a dash in the name.


Still, that guy holding the seamonkey.org domain once had and claims to 
still want to do a page about those brine shrimp and he's been unwilling 
to hand over the domain so far.

Exactly. In the past, www.mozilla.org could be perceived as being the
site that features anything Mozilla-based, but these times are long
gone. (At the latest) since www.mozilla.com has been merged into
www.mozilla.org, mozilla.org is the MoCo home and they claim/control the
front page contents. These contents cannot be changed by everyone
(unlike with the wiki or developer network sites) so it's a done deal.
No point in fighting it. Our website and content is elsewhere, and we

It wasn't available. And it would be news to me if it was now. Last time 
I checked, it was still owned by the same guy that wouldn't hand it over 
to us, even though he hadn't placed a live site under that domain for ages.


And apparently that's still true, I just checked again.

IMO, it's the best reply yet.  ISTM that's what the overwhelming

drill down to it from mozilla.org's front page.  I don't think this
will affect anyone other than those looking for reasons to feel
slighted by the Corporation/Foundation.  Would talking the people in
charge of Mozilla's main portals into featuring SeaMonkey more
prominently there really help the project at this point?

(For the lack of capitalization on the site, a bug report would probably
get it fixed.  I understand this is kinda beside the point.)

 Bah to search engines. We're talking about Mozilla's web site! Even 
 http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/products/ doesn't list it! Does Mozilla not 
 care about its own multiple suite product? Are they trying to kill it? :(
 

No, they have already killed it -- back in 2005, when the Mozilla
Application Suite was discontinued. Seamonkey is *not* an official
Mozilla project, although they do lend us a lot of help and resources.

Really? Wow. I didn't know that happened. That sucks. I am surprised it 
is still alive today even though it is an unofficial project. :( No 
wonder people never heard of them until I mentioned old school Netscape 
suite products.

At least previously they had an easy link to 'Projects' on the front
page. Now you have to go through:

https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/
to  https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/products/
  scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on See even more
awesome software based on Mozilla technologies.
to end up here:
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/projects/mozilla-based/

Seems to me that if they do lend a lot of help  resources, they'd be
kind enough to at least make projects visible again. At least we're
not alone...they've also done the same to Lightning, who do not have
their own URL:

https://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/

The other interesting bit, is that if you are on the calendar page, and
click on any 'Projects' link, you end up back here:
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/products/
So they are purposely redirecting any 'projects' url to 'products',
which of course confuses the hell out of anyone trying to find
'projects' on the site. I guess it's their site, their rules.

See how many clicks  pages it takes you to find the SeaMonkey pages.

Nope. Not there.
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/products/
Nope. Not there.
SeaMonkey isn't a Product.
Hint: You can indeed get to a page with SeaMonkey on it from there...
see how easy it is for you to find it.

When you do get to the page, SeaMonkey is spelled 'Seamonkey'. Not only
do Mozilla dis SeaMonkey by hiding it three obscure pages in, but then
they spell it with a lowercase 'm'.

My we are a select  special project group aren't we?
