Good afternoon! This week we're fortunate enough to have the Mozilla Director of Community, Asa Dotzler, here with us in the Download Squad bunker. His yappy little dog doesn't like it much down here -- but with soundproofed cells, who cares?After my last interview with his comrade Aza Raskin (what are the chances of having two people called Asa working in the same office?), I was keen to find out a little bit more about Mozilla itself. Raskin knows a lot about how Firefox works, but Dotzler is a cornerstone of the the framework that supports Firefox -- Mozilla. In many ways it is Dotzler's work that has shaped the direction of Firefox's development, from its early, messy roots at Netscape, through to today where each Firefox release is the cumulative effort of thousands.
In today's interview I cover a truly epic range of questions: from HTML5 support and Jaegermonkey, to the future of Firefox's community efforts; from Firefox's roots as an IE-with-add-ons-and-pop-up-blocking, to its future in the enterprise environment. Asa has tried his very best -- and succeeded! -- to respond with an unprecedented level of detail about the inner workings of Firefox and Mozilla
Read this interview and you'll walk away enlightened, entertained, and slightly in awe of the all-encompassing might of the Mozilla machine.
