Dear Mitchell

In late February I published an article on “Firefox & Mitchell Baker”. It was an article about The Firefox Way - of doing business, and the lessons that can be learned.

I’d be grateful if you could have a look at this article (in baconsbusiness.blogspot.com), to ensure that it represents you and Firefox accurately and appropriately.

You are a great inspiration Mitchell.

Best regards,

James

@jogil:

@jogil: This is why Mozilla Messaging has been created. Look at this post: http://blog.lizardwrangler.com/2007/07/25/email-call-to-action/
With MMI, this is a real second birth for Thunderbird (Phoenix was the former name of Firefox )

These broad, new visions are fine, but the nitty-gritty does need to be dealt with. I have been using Thunderbird for a few months, and I keep finding loose ends. Example: it is not possible to print selected text from a message. Research disclosed that this problem has been recognized since 2002, but it is still not fixed. This kind of neglect destroys confidence in the product. Instead of looking forward to Tbird 3, I’m thinking about moving to Eudora.

Thanks, clear now! Mozilla Corporation is a taxable entity, so Mozilla Messaging is a for-profit organisation too, I think. That was unclear on MozillaZine.

Amsterdammer: The Mozilla Foundation (MoFo) is the parent. It has two daughters, namely the Mozilla Corporation (MoCo) which focuses on Firefox, and the new Mozilla Messaging (MoMe) which focuses on Thunderbird (and messaging beyond Thunderbird).
So, “it is a wholly owned subsidiary, a sister organization to the Mozilla Corporation” is a sentence consisting of two parts, the first saying that MoMe is a subsidiary of _MoFo_, and the second saying that (as such) it is the sister to MoCo.

Sorry, I have a problem with the language en-US (I am German native speaker, who learned “Queen-English” en-GB on school), so perhaps I misunderstand the place of Mozilla Messaging within Mozilla Organisation:

a “subsidiary” means “Tochter-Gesellschaft” , (from Tochter=daughter),
a “sister organisation” means “Schwester-Gesellschaft”, but this in en-GB: “affiliated company”.
So please: What is the exact place of Mozilla Messaging within the Mozilla Organisation?
