There seems to be some confusion over my developer recruitment post. The purpose of the post wasn’t a casual retrospective on the evolution of Firefox development policy. It lead off with that to provide some context, but the purpose was to acknowledge that the policy is poor and solicit feedback about how we can improve it. Comments to the effect of “I don’t think that’s a good policy” are redundant and unhelpful.

    Firefox is community driven.
    And it should stay so.
    Some officials could play a role of moderator or supervisor in a coding process.
    Or the community have to cover all possible tasks with its own working teams and structure.
    The mix of moderated development and community based development would be my choice if I had to make it.

    I thought this was a good review in the fact that in gives insight into the development core and after being ./’ed it seems to give others (like me) a better understanding of what goes on.

    Personally, I would make a team of people who could scrutinize an applicants past experiences, their references and works, etc. Though, with such a large project as Firefox, that might prove more difficult then helpful…
