I have a question about the update status of Mozilla Application Suite and SeaMonkey.

A few months ago the Mozilla Foundation said they had decided to stop building the Mozilla Suite. Than these guys took the Mozilla Suite code and decided to carry on the project under the name SeaMonkey. So I downloaded the SeaMonkey alpha and have been happily useing for a couple of days now.

But while browsing the nightly builds at Open Source Labs I noticed someting:


Mozilla nightly build
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/nightly/
Filename: 2005-11-09-09-1.7/
Date released: 09-Nov-2005 17:30
That was only a few days ago. How can they say they stopped developing the browser but continue to release nightly builds?

could be a couple of things;

auto scripted to produce nightly builds of source code, even if its not been updated. (just hasn't been turned off)
let the seamonkey team use the mozilla servers


i wouldn't look too much into it.

You'd think they would have turned it off. If that's the case mabye someone should send them an email.
