Jamie Zawinski's resignation from Netscape/Mozilla

[James Love <love@cptech.org>]

This is Jamie Zawinski's depressing message regarding his resignation from the
Netscape/AOL Mozilla project.  Apparently Mr. Zawinski was the 20th employee
hired by Netscape.  When the AOL/Netscape merger was announced he helped seal
the deal by publishing a very optimistic note on the future of the Mozilla
project in providing non AOL IPSs an independent platform for web browsing. 
This letter is considerably less upbeat.  Indeed, it raises some fundamental
questions about the future success of open source projects based upon the
Netscape/Mozilla model (NPL and MPL).   Jamie
