Introducing "Mozilla Webmaker:" helping the world make the web
- joenathan 14y agohmmm... From the title I was hoping this was a Dreamweaver alternative. This is not a very well written piece it takes forever to get to the point to reveal that this is some sort of "summer code party", whatever that means. Is there anyone who is actually interested in attending this?
- pathdependent 14y agoI think the idea and some of the tools (e.g. Popcorn) are interesting. At this point, I think more non-professionals are making videos than web pages. With something like Popcorn, you learn web development in service of making your video presentation more interesting. They are almost tricking you into learning web development. It's a new form of an old pattern: getting people motivated to learn something by re-framing it. (See: SmallTalk, Logo, Processing, etc.)
- bibinou 14y agoAuthoring tools and software, designed and built with our community. From supercharging web video with Popcorn, to remixing with Hackasaurus, to making your own web pages with Thimble. Never heard of Thimble, and googling doesn't yield anything, so I hope they'll announce something else soon.

- bonch 14y agoIt's difficult to figure out what the hell this is from their announcement, but from what I've gathered, it's a social learning initiative to teach people web development centered around volunteer-run teaching events.
- debacle 14y agoMore like 'Introducing the PR for "Mozilla Webmaker."' I don't see a product or tool here. Just a newsletter signup form.
