Re: Fwd: GNOME techonologies used by Mozilla

[Danishka Navin <danishka gmail com>]

What's the point of having a long list that has many stuff not matching with Mozilla?

I am sorry, but this souds like too greedy to get Mozilla funds.

I am Gnome user and I was contributing to Gnome since 2007.

I would like to help as a mozillian if you can clearly mention why Mozilla should sponsor Gnome project.

If I am not wrong, there was a gnome prooject that funded by Mozilla.

Those are two separate projects, and GIO is builtin to glib.

What do they use GNOME CVS for? We haven't had CVS repositories for 8
years.

if I am not wrong Mozilla use hg.

This is backwards. We use Mozilla's spidermonkey in gjs.
