My gripes aren't due to a lack of effort, LOC or money, but completely silly product visions.
I have plenty of contributions I could make, but they're all about -50,000 LOC and they won't get merged.
- fabrice_d 10y agoOut of curiosity, what would these contributions be?
- brador 10y agoThe code is open source. What's the viability of successfully forking everything and doing it right with a competing open product? Could it be done?
- drdaeman 10y agoNo chance if done single-handedly or by a tiny group. I believe, most forks end up dead in some months (if ever synced with upstream). It's no big deal to fork a project and write some code. Yet, it's requires a tremendous effort to maintain it and keep up with all the upstream changes. (I wonder if there's enough of community bothered by ever-increasing infestation of the browser by Mozilla's own proprietary technologies - e.g. anything related to "Firefox Account" - to start a schism.)
