This msg is reposted from the Mozilla OS/2 group. The Warpzilla team is asking for contributions to buy a computer that will be used as the Tinderbox/nightly box for the OS/2 versions of the products from mozilla. Any amount will help:

All funds will go toward creating an OS/2 Tinderbox/nightly machine.

If I get extra funds, they will probably go toward mozilla.org if that's OK.

Tinderbox is part of the Mozilla development process.
http://www.mozilla.org/tinderbox.html "Essentially, Tinderbox is a detective tool. It allows you to see what is happening in the source tree.
It shows you who checked in what (by asking Bonsai); what platforms have built successfully; what platforms are broken and exactly how they are broken (the build logs); and the state of the files that made up the build (cvsblame) so you can figure out who broke the build, so you can do the most important thing, hold them accountable for their actions."

IBM has stopped its support of Mozilla for OS/2. Any further development will have to be from volunteers. IBM no longer provides a machine for Mozilla apps to be compiled so future versions would have to come from another source. Mike Kaply was the lead developer for the IBM team. He has offered to continue to compile official versions of Mozilla based apps for OS/2 if he has a machine to do so, hense the request for contributions to purchase a system.

I have no relationship to the Mozilla development team other than as a happy user of the FireFox web browser. For OS/2 and eComStation to remain a viable platform we will need current versions of FireFox, Thunderbird and any other potential Mozilla based applications. For specific questions related to Mozilla for OS/2 development I suggest you post them on the Mozilla for OS/2 Usenet group
