This information is available to any and every end user of the Firefox web browsing software applications and also the end users of other web browsing software application who wants to get information about the same.

Today, even the minutes of the meeting of the developers of version 3.0 of the Firefox web browsing software application is posted on the internet to keep the end users of the Firefox web browsing software applications posted about the progress made on the development of version 3.0 of the Firefox web browser. No other web browsing software application will provide such information about the developmental process of the web browser on the internet. Not only does the Firefox web browsing software application offer the minutes of the last meeting but it also offers a record of the minutes of all the previous meetings held by the developers of the Firefox web browsing software application. That is to say, any and every surfer of the internet can now go through the information to determine the progress made by the developers of the version upgrade from point X to point Y.

Further, a lot can be inferred from the content of the minutes of the meeting. The end users of web browsing software applications can easily anticipate the incorporation of certain features in the web browsing software applications. The end result is that the end user of the Firefox web browsing software application may not have to wait till the final release of the web browsing software application before he or she gets to know of the new features incorporated into the version upgrade.

The Firefox web browsing software application is an open source web browsing software application. Open source software applications always have a history of being very user friendly.

However, the Firefox web browsing software application is the first open source web browser to be so popular and to be used by so many end users. Hence the whole process of the development of Firefox version 3.0 and the fact that the development is taking place in the public glare can be disconcerting for many.
