Aloha,

Back in the USSA...still mostly traveling though so e-mail will be
intermittent.

I suggest some of both - ask the question straight up, and offer some
examples such as those we've discussed here.

This would be fun to see.  What I don't know is if our API is mature
enough for them to build a simple sample client around it yet...chad??

Maybe we need a glossary on the wiki.  Frankly, part of being able to help
at the level where they need to know what "dev site" means is is knowing
what "dev site" means...

I'm still more in favor of folks getting paid for work on the project than
spending the money on long-distance fossil-fueled travel.

Thunderbird is simply the spinoff/stand-alone mail client derived from
Mozilla mail.
Mozilla is the "whole bundle" of web browser, e-mail client, and a few
other goodies.
Firefox is likewise the spinoff/stand-alone web browser derived from
Mozilla browser.

What you gon' study?

cheers,
