(Or "the project formerly known as XPFE") In the beginning, there were 3 front ends (FE's): mac, windows,
unix. Each took a suite of developers to maintain. Adding a new
feature (even just a button) required 3 engineers to waste at least a
day (more often a week) slaving away until the feature was complete.
This had to change. What if we could be in a world where we could just write the code
once? Where non-programmers could design the look and feel of a
product using W3C standards instead of C++? Where platform
differences could be expressed in stylesheets, not hardcoded with
#ifdefs? Do you like that world? So do we. There is currently a prototype residing in mozilla/xpfe/xpviewer
that demonstrates the progress so far. Keep in mind that this is just
a proof-of-concept and doesn't represent what we plan to ship for 5.0
(since it looks exactly like 4.0). The merging of the 5.0 features
you all know and love will come shortly. See the XPFE
newsgroup for discussion. We want all our discussions to be open
to the net. We need your help. If we're not keeping you in the loop,
yell at us! Table of
