I tell people that the history of Mozilla and Firefox is so one of a kind that it should not be used - ever - as an example of what's possible.

I think HTML5 is one area where Mozilla has done very poorly at actually communicating what we have done.

Mozilla has one foot in the Valley, Silicon Valley product technology, and partly one foot in the social enterprise space.

The Mozilla Foundation is an independent, nonprofit organization.

I think complexity is mostly sort of crummy stuff that is there because it's too expensive to change the interface.

Open source production has shown us that world-class software, like Linux and Mozilla, can be created with neither the bureaucratic structure of the firm nor the incentives of the marketplace as we've known them.

If you know how to make software, then you can create big things.

Complexity that works is built up out of modules that work perfectly, layered one over the other.

Of course, it's hard to support full-time programmers, so we do get funds from a set of companies that are interested in the health of the Mozilla project and so are willing to support the people working for the Foundation as well.

Compared even to the development of the phone or TV, the Web developed very quickly.
