If you're following Mozilla development, you've no doubt heard something about "Kilimanjaro". If you already know what that's all about, then this post isn't for you. Enough people have asked me about it, though, I thought it worth a quick blogging.
Kilimanjaro is the coming together of Mozilla's Firefox browser for desktops; a brand new Firefox for Android phones; a preliminary version of the Mozilla mobile operating system, Boot to Gecko; the multi-OS, multi-device Mozilla web application runtime; the Mozilla Apps Marketplace; and Mozilla's user-centric identity system, Persona.
Taken together, these products and services will be something more than the sum of their parts. They will constitute the beginning of a powerful web-wide app ecosystem.
Kilimanjaro is version one dot oh of that ecosystem.
