As of March 31st, Mozilla has turned two decades old.

Netscape Communications made two important announcements on January 23rd, 1998:

  • First, that the Netscape Communicator product would be available free of charge;
  • Second, that the source code for Communicator would also be free.

On March 31st, the first developer release of the source code to Communicator was made available.

    UX experts, which in my experience are way beyond Sturgeon's Law, probably touching 99.5-99.9%, have asserted that "discoverable" interfaces are more engaging.

    And hey presto - UIs now come complete with a bucket load of Stockholm syndrome.
