Independent Status Reports (2 August, 2004)
By Brian King

Mozilla usage and adoption is on the rise. This can be attributed to a number of factors. However, the primary factor is that it is cutting-edge, quality software. With this in mind, take in the variation of Mozilla development projects below, check some of them out, install and support them. At mozdev.org, we are seeing a sharp increase in new projects created, and this we see as a vindication of the time and effort we put in to provide this service to talented Mozilla developers.

Note: If anyone has an update that they would like included in the next report, go here, or have any feedback on the reports in general, feel free to contact us.

The MozCreator project was created. Our goal is to create a Mozilla developement environment in Java. This environment will feature a number of tools to help increase development on the Mozilla platform. A couple of these features include a tabbed text editor, automatic JAR creation and RDF generation, and compiling with the preprocessor.

Team members are R.J. Keller and Brant Gurganus. If you are interested in contributing, feel free to email us.

Because the application is currently in alpha form, we are not yet providing binaries for MozCreator. Feel free to download and compile the source code if you want a sneak peak or checkout the screenshots page.

Here are a couple of improvements we've made to MozCreator since the initial code release:
