Hearns stated that Gavin shared the commit privileges with four others, creating a now-problematic majority-wins scenario.

However, I don't hear anything about Gavin not being able to appoint additional people, presumably bearing his philosphy. Is this an official restriction or, if not, why not?

I've had it with iTunes for a long time now. I understand the original concept of managing your music (for the iPod) but when the iPhone was introduced it was shoehorned in to create this burgeoning monstrosity.

It says it wants a new download of iTunes, some 50 megs, often asking for QuickTime which doesn't always relate, and it's awkward in general.

I'd be happy to lead (or help lead) an effort - assuming it's legal to do this - to break apart the phone management from the music management.

If so, anyone interested, and what would you like to see as a result? Or, if not, what do you forsee the obstacles as?

I've used "Firefox" since Mosaic, then Netscape, then Mozilla Firefox. But, damn, more and more Firefox bogs down on me (and I have few, if any add-ons installed). Flash was locking it up, and I'm keeping it disabled unless I particularly want it on, and animated GIFs seem to bog it down. Othertimes it just seems to bog down - I assume a memory resource leak - and a restart fixes it. Sometimes not.

I'm loyal to the heir of the first browser, but frankly am ready to trade - same quandry when I had to abandon Borland for M$oft (but that was a business decision).

Alas, although I know it's open source, I'm not in a position to fix it myself.

Anyone else hanging in there, know what the bog down is, or what are people doing? I know I'm not the only one with this issue.
