Well, that didn’t take long! With the launch of the Firefox 1.0 Preview Release earlier this week, The Foundation posed a challenge to the Mozilla community at large: Can you evangelize Firefox to the point where there are one million downloads in ten days?
It took just four. As seen in previous challenges, it doesn’t take much to get the hardcore Mozilla community riled up. What this new challenge really crystalizes, though, is the power that community can wield in winning new converts. Seeing IE’s share of the developer market beginning to wane provides nice encouragement. IE’s progressive decent into security hell can’t hurt, either.
Depending on who you ask, Firefox is either on its way to market dominance or on the way down the toilet. Either way, though, Mozilla is doing a whole lot right. Good things are happening.
