Further thoughts on authoring tools; note the comments
July 17 at 11:06 am - Link
there is the level of technology required for developing rich interactions. Indeed it is always easier to develop a technology on a proprietary platform. You don't have to deal with different social structures (companies) for interoperability, just your own with all it implies for coordination. Then there is the success with authoring tools, I would prefer authoring framework. If HTTP PUT had been implemented in all browsers/servers maybe the story would have been different, maybe not. But the authoring tool is just one part when you want to fix the web, there are so many sources of producing content which is becoming unlikely that a unique authoring tool will fix everythng. We can think of database, libraries, javascript code, templating engines, content frameworks. The comments stress out what the proprietary technology can do, not what they can't do :) - Karl Dubost

Bradley Kuhn of the Software Freedom Law Center considers whether OSS is socially responsible (vs. environmental impacts or human rights, etc.)
July 6 at 4:49 am - Link
This link and discussion may not be directly relevant to the discussion of the future of the Foundation but I thought it provided some perspective as to the outside views of OSS vs. other more traditional metrics of "social responsibility." I personally think Mozilla's focus on the open web is a more important and broader goal (not to mention one that is uniquely tied to the browser vs. other software) but is less concrete than the goals of the open source community. - Gen Kanai
Yes, I think Mozilla's focus on the human experience with the web is somewhat different than that of many open source focus projects. I'm not clear that all open source projects have the same goal, but in general we could probably assume that having software under a FLOSS license is a shared goal. - Mitchell Baker

I've outlined some questions about the identity of the Mozilla project that are relevant. The Foundation is only one piece of he project, but its scope will...
July 1 at 5:48 pm - Link
To the extent that the question is about what Mozilla can do to contribute more than it already does to the general social trend toward openness, I'd suggest that the best way to expand the reach of this style of decentralized social, industrial and technical organization is to do so in a decentralized manner. There are lots of groups of people, formal and informal, that are part of this mix. Everyone from Creative Commons, EFF, CDT, Berkman, to IETF, W3C, SFLC, FSF (these are just the ones that I've been involved with), to the huge range of open source software communities. That only scratches the surface. The common values across these organizations is clear (as are some of their differences) but they do tend to work in pretty different contexts. I particularly appreciate the fact that Mozilla seems to have a knack for 'doing' instead of just talking so wonder what concrete things could be done to build links across these organizations, beyond just talking about what we have in common. - Danny Weitzner
Danny, I agree about the decentralized nature. The idea of being "concrete" in doing things to build links makes good sense. I don't have an idea of what these things would be yet, but your statement seems just right. - Mitchell Baker

The Open Web is a social movement | eaves.ca
July 1 at 10:00 am - via Bookmarklet - Link
it seems to me that while the Open Web might be a social movement (I agree that it is), that what Mozilla does is more deeply rooted in the practice of software than a less constrained social movement. So while I like the language and ideas here, I believe that there are things about Mozilla that are special and software-related. - John Lilly
The more i read this piece, the more I wonder about the advisability of using this idea as a way to try to organize Mozilla or the Mozilla Foundation. i've been waiting to make sure it's not somehow a defensive reaction, I'm getting close to being able to articulate my thoughts. When i'm a bit surer about this I'll write more. - Mitchell Baker
