Looks like those 2-3k people might be for a wider effort than just Firefox OS.
I think it is a smart move to make such a big move, as anyone wanted to get in the market needs to do so now. If they continue on their current trajectory, the market is looking very much like Windows/Apple in the 90s (except now it's Google/Apple). If Android becomes the Windows 95/XP of the smartphone world, then it will be very good for some and very bad for others - and it would become increasingly hard to break into the market.
