Wow, this is great. I can't tell you how many times I've wanted to use Mozilla tools in Hindi but have been unable to do so!

Okay, just kidding. Seriously, I have a lot of respect for Google in stepping up to organize this thing, Chris DiBona in particular.

Strangely enough, there are lots of people who would love to use Mozilla
in Hindi - it's the only language they know.

cheers,

At least I always had alternative solutions that didn't involve using proprietary software or learning another language.

Why is a SIP phone client for Thunderbird a good idea? I thought the Mozilla project had seen the wisdom of separate tools for separate tasks (i.e., the Firefox/Thunderbird split). Surely a SIP phone client is a nice standalone application.

That's not to say that the various standalone applications can't be designed to work together nicely.
