Decisions and Action Items

  • Mozilla does not have the personnel resources to do market studies of the corporate deployment space (general agreement)
  • Mozilla should document existing resources such as the Mission Control Desktop which have already been used for corporate deployment (mscott, bienvenu)
  • Mozilla Developer Center should have a corporate deployment section (talk to deb)
  • Incremental development of features that are important to corporate deployment must develop organically; especially take contributions from the community
  • Implement discussion/announce group for communication with/between corporate deployers (bsmedberg to talk to gerv/justdave)
  • An official Mozilla MSI may happen for FF3 but is not a priority (robstrong)
