Comments on: Want your name in Firefox 2 ? http://glandium.org/blog/?p=88 glandium.org Sun, 05 Sep 2010 12:27:46 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Martijn http://glandium.org/blog/?p=88&cpage=1#comment-7934 Martijn Tue, 25 Jul 2006 20:13:06 +0000 http://web.glandium.org/blog/?p=88#comment-7934 So what are the bug numbers of those patches? Do they need review or do you need to have them applied? If you want to have them applied to cvs you can add [checkin needed] to the keywords input, that normally ensures it will get applied reasonably soon. So what are the bug numbers of those patches?

Let's assume 1% of those users bother to do this; that's 2 million users. Assuming the average name is 15 characters long, that's 30MB they've wasted storing this name list. Hopefully it's not included in the tarball but on some website the sane part of the world can avoid. So there are almost 200 million downloads of Firefox by now, right?

All that brouhaha about patches and the logo a while ago, it's harder to get cvs commit rights than clearance to enter a US military research lab, the stepmotherly treatment that their main coder gives linux, etc etc. I sometimes wonder if it, in the long run, would be better to fork Gecko for use in Epiphany and other real community projects and let the Mozilla foundation do what it wants.
