Sometimes when you work on a project for too long, you cannot see the forrest for the trees. It seems like the good people, who have been working on Mozilla for so long, cannot see how esoteric the requirements for building an extension are. This could lead to a situation where Mozilla is losing potential developers based on bad first impressions. Because when you first experience XUL development, you must first experience the requirements to set up an app before you can even do "Hello World".

The purpose of this page is to bring together related claims from new XUL developpers who have a fresh perspective. The final aim is to ease the work complexity of new XUL developpers, and to make mozilla/firefox a great development environment, '''out of the box'''.
