Yes, to port firebird is a good idea. But i think we should wait untill, mozilla has steped up to the plate, in terms of its next big release. Mozilla as seen by most people is just a browser. Some people think its a little more, a mail client and composer. However Mozilla is much more than allt his. Its a platform. A platform for creating platform independent web friendly applications. If/When Mozilla is ported to AmigaOS we'll be able to run many more applications taht have been written for Mozilla. Firebird is just one of them. Soon, thunder bird (a standalone mail client based on mozilla) will be avaliable. Its pre .1 atm. However, Mozilla is still young, and most peoply prolly dont have a clue how much power this platform has. There for, i think porting should wait untill the next stage of mozillas future is firmly in place. This way we can take advantage of mozillas power and not just port a browser, but port a platform independed development environment. That way apps like Thunder bird will hardly even need a recompile. Most apps wont at all once you have the fondation down.
Thats also why i dont think the money should go towards other projects like iBrowse or Voyger... The money should only be for Mozilla (because i believe it gives us more than just a browser).
