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


We're just going through what technologies that Mozilla that would relate to us.  There is nothing desperate or greedy about that.  It's research towards a goal.  As Bastien said, sausage making, yo. :)  The money would be good for us, but also if Mozilla says they use GNOME related libraries then that is a powerful argument to use as well. 

 
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.


And that is what this thread is about.  We also are working on what future technologies would be something that would be interesting to Mozilla.

I might add that GNOME has a talent pool that Mozilla has benefitted from.  A number of successful people inside Mozilla have come from the GNOME community.  GNOME not only has great technologies but they have great people.

I recently joined the technical marketing team at work.  Can you tell? :D

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.
