Please add your questions for Shaver below. We'll use this list as a starting point for his talk on Wednesday. Any serious questions from the community are also welcome:== Talk Details ==
* '''Date''': Sept 27, 2006* '''Speaker''': Mike Shaver == Media == * [http://ilearn.senecac.on.ca/mozillalectures/lecture3part1.html Part I] (streaming)* [http://ilearn.senecac.on.ca/mozillalectures/lecture3part2.html Part II] (streaming)* [http://ilearn.senecac.on.ca/mozillalectures/mozillalecture3.mp3 MP3] (93 MB) == Talk Outline == Students were asked to post questions for Shaver. He used this list as his starting point: === General Interest ===
* How long have you been working on Mozilla?
* What kind of enhancements do you think people want, or asked to see, in future versions of Firefox and Thunderbird?
=== Project Specific ===
* A number of the projects have connections, for example, the d-bus and AppleScript project both need to allow data from outside to pass into the browser. Can you comment on this? Where to start in terms of the Mozilla side?
* How do you expect D-Bus effecting the current technologies used for interoperability considering there is a port for Windows ([http://sourceforge.net/projects/windbus winDBus])?
=== Open Source Development Best Practices/Skills ===
* It's clear that one of the main advantages of open source development is being able to use/consult/model/etc. existing code. How does one do this practically? For example, with respect to the [[OS X Keychain integration]] project, knowing that this has been done in other projects, where does one begin and how?
