== Miscellany ==
=== About / History ===
This plan was first drafted by mconnor and beltzner based on input from a brainstorming session of drivers and key contributors. The first draft was posted after revisions and feedback from schrep, cbeard, ben, bryner, darin and others. We propose an aggressive schedule, and suggest to only do a few things for the Firefox 2 release, but to do those things well.
 
=== Theme of Firefox 2 ===
Firefox 2 will aim to build on the success of Firefox by addressing issues related to the problem of managing the vast amounts of information available on the Internet. Our goal is to provide a browser that helps users manage and organize their online information channels.
 
=== Terminology ===
* ''feature complete'' means that all of the required Gecko API hooks are complete and being called; the UI needn't be finalized, but it should be there and should be at least functional in limited terms so that alpha testers can explore the corners.
 
* ''feature frozen'' means that all feature work is complete, and most presentation (moving buttons, changing strings) work is done but revisions will be allowed based on feedback
 
* ''string complete'' means that all points in the UI that require strings have some content; this content can still be revised based on feedback
 
* ''string frozen'' means that all strings are final and available for l10n
 
== About Bon Echo ==
Continuing the tradition, Firefox 2 will use a pre-release code name taken from a public park. [http://www.ontarioparks.com/english/bone.html Bon Echo Provincial Park] is located in Ontario, Canada. The name literally translates to "good echo", and reflects how it is our goal echoes that of Firefox 1, once again focusing on improving the browsing experience for our users, making it simple, effective, fast and useful.
