Independent Status Reports

The independent status reports include news and updates from 
Mozilla application and extension projects hosted on mozdev.org 
and elsewhere in the Mozilla community.

There have been many exciting recent developments in the Mozilla Community, that affect extension authors 
and end-users alike.
These include:
- New Releases - Mozilla 1.7, Firefox 0.9, Thunderbird 0.7 and Camino 0.8.
- A Web plugin alliance between Mozilla and other major technology groups.

- New Extension and Theme managers in Firefox and Thunderbird.
- Launch of update.mozilla.org. At mozdev.org, we feel that this will be a valuable service that will 
  compliment the services that we provide for extension authors, and will provide a solid way for users 
  to manage their extensions and themes.

So now more than ever is the perfect time to switch to Mozilla, to write your extension, and to invest 
in Mozilla technologies.

Citations now works. It allows to select a text in a Web page and to right-click to save it in a RDF local database 
together with the URL and the author. It is like a bookmark aimed to "quotings" and special phrases one wants to keep 
for future reference.
