Now, the localized builds of Thunderbird 1.0.2 finally showed up on the ftp servers.
Just for the record, on the first day of localized releases we had (incl. en-US):
Linux builds in 7 languages
Windows builds in 9 languages
Mac OS X builds in 15 languages
Great work everybody!
After several days of waiting, most of the localized Thunderbird builds, including all packages I made, passed the Mozilla Foundation QA.
Some of you might be wondering where the h* the localized builds of Thunderbird 1.0.2 are.
Well, there are several problems:
Most of the Linux and Mac builds failed QA on friday because they said “©1998-2004″ in the about box instead of “©1998-2005″. Most teams updated their packages within a short time, but they have not […]
As written in my last post, we are getting the localized builds of Thunderbird 1.0.2 ready.

But that is not the end of the Mozilla Suite, aka SeaMonkey. A group of volunteers stepped up to save the SeaMonkey. I also plan to support these efforts with all the time […]
Despite of me using wp-hashcash as a spam protection, there where lots of spam comments recently.
Actually, I don’t know if it where comments or trackbacks, WordPress does not seem to show the difference.
As a quick counter-measure, I now require that a comment of a user only shows up if the user had an approved comment […]
Yesterday I came across the new prefwindow. The first thing I noticed was: the performance of the window animation and the text fade-in *really* sucks. I hope it will be as snappy as a OS X user is expecting it to be in Fx 1.1 (like in Camino e.g.) or this is really going to blow Firefox/Mac out of the water.

Do I really have to comment this?
If so, I would just add that several members of the BSA are probably opening huge bottles of Champagne by now, as they see that the money they […]
