Mozilla to develop a stand-alone operating system

The Mozilla project has announced a project called "Boot to Gecko" which appears to be a sort of competitor to ChromeOS and/or Android. "Mozilla believes that the web can displace proprietary, single-vendor stacks for application development. To make open web technologies a better basis for future applications on mobile and desktop alike, we need to keep pushing the envelope of the web to include --- and in places exceed --- the capabilities of the competing stacks in question." The associated repository contains only a README file thus far.
