Dear Firefox developers,
I think that it would be meaningful if you use the release 3.1 to
assimilate the feedback of the firefox 3.0 users. Version 3.0
introduces to many new features and until now only a group of early
adopters (that is relatively small compared to the number of the
common users) tried out this version. And when the version 3.0 will be
released as final version there will be much more users. I think you
should write down another primary objective for the release 3.1:
collecting the feedback from this broad base of firefox 3.0 users,
evaluating this feedback, and using it to advance the new features
added in 3.0. IMHO it should be more important than integration of the
almost complete features.
Regards
Andy
