Re: LessZilla/SeaMonkey: artwork and builds

[Karl Berry]

    As a third party builder

But do you want to be a "third party"?  Why not join the project?  I
am confused ...

    my immediate concern is with any objections
    GNUzilla might have about my use of the name

Um, which name?  LessZilla?  Our concern is not to confuse users.  Two
different projects going by the same name would be confusing.

If Debian and GNU work on the same project (as I devoutly hope we will),
then clearly we should use the same name, just as with any other
package.  E.g., GNU coreutils doesn't get a new name in its Debian
version (as far as I know!).

Do you (Debian) already have everything built?  Sources in your code
base?  Once again, the current status of things is unclear to me.


Anyway, I don't feel terribly strongly about the actual names, and I'm
pretty sure that rms doesn't either.  Using the uniform "Ice" prefix
sounds good to me.  I guess in this scenario, "IceLizard" is the
equivalent of "GNUzilla"?


By the way, excuse my ignorance, but can someone explain all these
various components from the Mozilla world?  I was under the impression
that SeaMonkey is essentially the union of Firefox, Thunderbird, and
Sunbird (anything else?).  Is that right?  The confusing thing about
that to me is that starting up "firefox" and starting up "mozilla" on my
system lead to considerably different interfaces.  E.g., firefox has a
builtin search box next to the nav bar.  (Not that I'm complaining or
want to change the behavior, I just want to understand. :)

Thanks,
Karl

P.S. As long as I'm asking random questions, does anyone know how to
disable the CTRL-W key binding in mozilla/seamonkey?  All the mozilla
docs seem to start with "it doesn't work this way in practice".  Great.
