<H1 ALIGN=CENTER>module owners</H1><P>

|
An <I>Owner</I> is responsible for fielding bug reports, enhancement requests,
|
|
patch submissions, and so on. The owner should facilitate good development,
|
|
as defined by the developer community. Many of the owners below happen to work
|
|
for Netscape, but that's not a prerequisite.
|
|
<P>
|
|
A <I>Module</I> is a collection of source files that form a coherent bundle,
|
|
probably a library (whether DLL/DSO or static). Some modules, notably the
|
|
Front Ends, link as executables. We would like most modules to use
|
|
<A href='#XP-COM'>XP-COM</A>, but only a few have been converted and released
|
|
to mozilla.org so far.
|
|
<P>
|
|
A <I>Platform</I> is pragmatically defined by the kind of code you have to
|
|
port, which is mostly UI code in the <A href='#StubFE'>Front Ends</A>.
|
|
CPU architecture and OS dependencies are mostly abstracted by
|
|
<A href='#NSPR'>NSPR</A>. If you're contemplating a port (e.g., to BeOS on one
|
|
or more hardware platforms), please mail <A href='mailto:brendan@netscape.com'>brendan</A>,
|
|
nominate some peers, and provide some documents.
|
|
<P>
