According to Ben Goodger, Firefox’s lead developer, Firefox 1.0 is on track for a November 9 launch. At this point, only serious crash and dataloss issues will be considered blockers for 1.0, so please don’t nominate bugs as blocking-aviary1.0 unless they fall into one of these categories. Please do nominate new regressions that fall into these categories.

The Firefox 1.0 release notes are also being prepared, and Ben is asking for nominations of bugs that you think should be included in the release notes.

According to the Thunderbird project roadmap (version 1.20), Thunderbird 1.0 is due middle of this month. But with all the hoopla surrounding the Firefox 1.0 release, you’d never have known. I found out simply by dumb luck, not because I was pointed there or because Mozilla.org had announced it anywhere. Sometimes I can’t help but wonder if Thunderbird is always going to be Firefox’s forgotten little brother. I hope not, because Thunderbird rocks just as much as Firefox. I really hope that once Firefox is out the door, serious attention will be paid to marketing Thunderbird as well.
