I think I said this in another comment, but the gamification levels were really just to test our gamification APIs, the levels are not at all right, or useful. We'll remove that ASAP.

We care, we really do -- just haven't gotten around to that part yet! Filed as https://github.com/mozilla/appmaker/issues/387 , thanks. We're actually very interested in mobile browsers, so much so t

Hey HN, if you're curious about this, I suggest you watch this video ( http://youtu.be/RaRIdLgZTPI ) which shows a quick demo, and/or: - opt out of the levels thing on first load, it's not ready. - instead, ju

Whoa. Definitely wasn't ready for HN-style exposure. As bmoskowitz pointed out we have some rough words about the project. For this group, I'd in particular point out the roadmap and CONTRIBUTORS.md documents on the github repo:

Is the NPS measured with visitors to the site, customers on site, or people being charged? I'd wager for some companies the differences could be telling.

The server is fairly trivial. It's mostly there to make it easy to try. If you want to host the server, go ahead (source is on github).

[mozilla employee here] There's no catch except an absence of a commitment to keep running it. Mozilla Labs is charged with figuring out how to make the web better. We think this could help make more apps collaborative. You tell us

If it's Good for the Web, I at least am happy to chat, give advice, mentor, to the extent that I have free time. I do that on a regular basis for local companies, but that's just because it's more convenient. I expect many Mozilla folks d

See my answer above. We should tweak the site to make it clearer, thanks for the feedback.

Good question. In the normal process, we offer no funding, and take no equity. We give advice and coaching to companies we think are likely to move the web in a positive direction. Keeping money out of it at this stage keeps things simpl

In Thunderbird 3, we use a combination of the two models, as some mail providers (Yahoo! for example, IIRC) strip away the right headers. Thunderbird 3's threading is way better than Thunderbird 2's.

TB3 doesn't support conversations out of the box, but I'm thinking about doing an add-on to experiment with that. With our new global database, it should be possible to do something interesting.

That's a really funny cautionary tale. I filed it at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=517489 so we can think about ways to avoid or mitigate...
