CNet has a story on the fairly new, CollabNet-backed site called MozDev.org for Mozilla developers. “Mozilla.org, founded by Netscape to develop its browser in an open-source environment, has
long touted its technology as a potential foundation for building applications such as word
processors or spreadsheets for the Web — an area Microsoft and others covet. One of these
technologies, dubbed XUL (XML-based User Interface Language, pronounced “zool”), launched
with Netscape’s promise that it could spur a ‘programming revolution’ beyond the realm of
browser development.”
