Entry text: [quote="Gerv"]I think the question the SeaMonkey project needs to (regularly) ask itself is: * Is the difference between SeaMonkey and: Firefox + Thunderbird + Kompozer + Chatzilla + purpose-built addons for SeaMonkey features + a set of SeaMonkey themes + good desktop integration so they all work well together big enough to be worth the amount of effort the team is putting into SeaMonkey? I'm not saying there is no difference, but it's possible that the functionality of the individual apps, plus the capabilities of the addons and themes systems, plus the improvements in desktop integration hooks, might together mean that the difference is small compared to the opportunity cost of doing SeaMonkey. Opportunity cost is where you can't do thing B because you are doing thing A. It's another way of saying that there are only 24 hours in every day. You've got a set of important priorities - "making the web more open, [improving] privacy and identity management for people on the Internet, [making] social contacts a story of freedom instead of walled gardens" - and at the moment, those things are B and SeaMonkey is A. You might decide SeaMonkey might be better reconstituted as an "app bundle" which bundles the four projects above, a theme and some addons, plus some configuration work. Or you might decide to carry on as now. Or you might decide to wind things up altogether. But I think you need to ask the question. What is the difference, and how big is it? Gerv[/quote]
