Following marcoos’s post:
Scott Berkun, author of UI in Internet Explorer 1.0 up to 5.0 (and since 6.0 is 99% similar to 5.0, he’s the author of whole IE UI), just switched to Firefox – what a yummy news 馃檪
I hardly can find better provements, that what we’re doing is good. Very good.
He also points out a few UI flaws in Firefox – I agree more than less with his notes. (damn! Bring back download sidebar he said!)
Since he was slashdotted – here comes the mirror.
Thee rather important news for my readers.
1) Axel Hecht became a voice of l10n world in Mozilla Corp. – kudoz to him for his awesome contribution to the project.
I had a pleasure to met him personally and I really see the future much brighter for l10n now! 馃檪
2) Two months ago, at 12.07.2005, Mozilla Europe General Ordinary Assembly took the place. I wanted to wait for official announcement, but it seems that holiday time made it forgotten so I’m announcing it now. On the assembly, my humble person was elected as a new member of Mozilla Europe’s Board of Directors.
3) I finally bought a notebook. It’s pretty and sweet Acer Aspire 5024 (version with 80GB HDD) for 1,179 €. Hoah! 馃檪
That’s all for now. I’m going to some studio to help preparing some merketing stuff for Firefox 1.5… No more about it for now… It’s a secret 馃槈
I’m glad to announce that I’ll have a talk at “Free Software in public administration” conference on 17th September 2005 in Radisson Hotel in Warsaw.
My talk has a topic “Firefox – desire of freedom” and I’ll be discussing the role of Free Software and Open Standards in critical user applications like web browser, mail client, IM client etc.
The conference is for free!
According to Pike, we will have localized Firefox 1.5 beta1 releases!
For Polish testers, please report any bug on our bugs.aviary.pl site. Here you have the list of bugs that are already in the process of fixing for Firefox 1.5/Thunderbird 1.5.
I just’ve found Jon Smirl’s article about state of Linux graphics [pl translation].
I’m not graphics expert. KDE 4 is the very first development of GUI I’m tracking carefully. I have great hopes and I think that we can create something really awesome, but I must admit that all work and ideas that are flying around this projects are about how to push to maximum the abilities of current X.org server with some small improvements like Exa.
But in case KDE team is working such huge improvement it should be a good point to improve also X.org server and use the new features – 3D features I mean.
Otherwise, after KDE4 release, we will have to wait for KDE 5 (year 2009?) to get a full 3D system which will use the modern (today’s!) 3d acceleration architecture.
We’ll, it seems that wounds after XFree86 project will costs us a lot of time 馃檨 Maybe this discussion will give us a chance to speed up in this segment?
Zack Rusin’s demo from aKademy 2005 at Malaga is here.
The link is about “xgl”, but I’m almost sure that Zack presented Exa, not xgl there. And if so than this is what we will have in X.org 7.0/6.9 – quite soon! And yes, that’s what will be used in KDE 4. Finally we have our response for Gnome’s demo from last year 馃檪
Beside of that… Guess what browser Zack uses there… humm… is this… Firefox? 馃檪
aKademy 2005 is now finished, we’ll soon have some movies, I just can’t wait for Zack Rusin’s video from talk about beauty in KDE4 about Exa and modern 3D stuff for KDE4 using QT4.
For the moment you can take a look at two mockups made by Adrien Facelina. Link 1 and Link 2.
Others – Link 1, Link 2. I think it’s a direction we should take about themes.
Wczoraj sko艅czy艂em t艂umaczy膰 kurs CSS dla DevmoPL.
Kurs jest napisany 艣wietnie, moim zdaniem. Logiczny, prosty, 艂atwo si臋 czyta, mocno podporz膮dkowany standardom, zgodny z CSS 2.1 – czego wi臋cej chcie膰? 馃檪
Przyda艂oby si臋 jeszcze, 偶eby kto艣 z Operowc贸w albo Konquerorowc贸w zajrza艂 i sprawdzi艂, czy nie ma Mozillyzm贸w (a je艣li znajdzie to poprawi艂 tak偶e w angielskiej wersji!).
T艂umaczenie zaj臋艂o mi prawie 2 miesi膮ce, ale to g艂贸wnie z braku czasu. Teraz chce si臋 zaj膮膰 pisaniem w艂asnego kursu dla JavaScript-a, podobnego w strukturze do kursu CSS. 馃檪
P.S. Dzi臋kuje Witii i innym za korekt臋 j臋zykow膮! 馃檪
