Gran Paradiso - Gearing Up for Paradise
on Mon, 06/18/2007 - 06:01Personal
Gran Paradiso is the codename for the next major release of Firefox. We’re now within six weeks of releasing the first of two planned Beta releases. (You can view the current schedule at: http://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox3/Schedule.)
The way major Firefox product releases work, following the Beta the product team will evaluate the feedback and remaining work, and a schedule for final release will begin to firm up. There is no date yet for final release -- we’re much more quality than date driven as an engineering organization.
At this point in the release cycle, we’re starting to define the marketing activities and to gear up for the launch!
One of the first things we’re doing is taking a look at the features list and pulling out key themes and characteristics.
Over the following days and weeks we’ll be posting the first draft of this work and the early plans for the launch campaign. We’re particularly interested in your thoughts, opinions and gut reactions.
The first early draft of the key bullets for the general consumer audience has been posted at: http://www.spreadfirefox.com/node/27771
So if you’re at all interested at helping out, please do not hesitate to jump right in! More info will be available soon on the schedule and community meetings.
