From a strategic point of view, the biggest conflict is in values
alignment: <br>

"Individuals must have the ability to shape their own experiences
on the Internet."<br>

Enterprise deployers generally value minimizing support burden
significantly more highly than (for example) allowing users to
customize their installation. Additionally, enterprises value
many features in ways (eg calendaring) that are fundamentally very
different than the ways that end users tend to value them.<br>
<br>
More operationally, a big motivation behind this statement is
simply an intent to focus. Mozilla as an organization doesn't
have significant experience in working with the Enterprise sector,
and Thunderbird as a project has far too few active developers to
do a good job with both individual and enterprise features.</blockquote>
With all respect for the people working at Mozilla/Thunderbird and
fully understand the limitation they are faced with, I would like to
see a more detailed mission statement for the products (TB/LG) and
the future of it. Only expressing TB is for individual users, SOHO
and not for the Enterprise is a very vague statement. Are there
definitions for those use cases? If they exists follows
Mozilla/TB/LG them? <br>
Beside a mission statement how about a road map? Also the projects
are very much living on engagement of contributors and their very
personnel requirements, likings etc such a plan/road map/(what ever
you name it) would make clearer where TB/LG stands and the force go
into -- or should go into.<br>
<br>
With David coming on board we have seen some plans, very
enthusiastic eg. about the integration of LG with TB. <br>
<br>
Did I missed the updates to all of that?<br>
