Make Firefox Better
With Beta

Firefox Beta
Before the Firefox you know and love gets to you, it goes through a number of stages — let's call this process "awesomization." We try out features, see what's working and what isn't and make sure you're getting the best experience possible. If you'd like to test features before they're ready for prime time, you can download Firefox Beta and be part of the process to help make Firefox better for everyone.


This month we're also showing you how Firefox works for all the ways you get to the Web. You'll also get some tools and tips to help you manage your finances; let you know how you can get into a snazzy Firefox T-shirt and tell you about a great contest for fans of Firefox and film.

Firefox on All Your Devices

There are so many ways we all get to the Web: You probably have a computer at home. Maybe two. You might have a laptop. Or a desktop. Or one of each. Then there's your work computer. And your smartphone. And that tablet you keep eyeing — or already own. (You get the idea.) The point is, each one of those devices handles the Web a little differently. Lucky for you, Firefox handles them all with ease. Now you can learn about our optimized interface for tablets, how add-ons work on both desktop and mobile, how you can take your browsing data with you using Sync and more all in one place! Check it out.

duckduckgo as home of Mint Linux

Chào các bác,

Duckduckgo search engine là browser's home của Mint Linux.

duckduckgo tôn trọng privacy, thích hợp với dân FOSS
Tất nhiên, họ cũng kiếm được $ từ MintLinux (cả hai cùng lợi)

Không rõ mô hình này dùng được với Asianux không?

Private Discussions: Don't do it

Chào các bác,

Em thấy nội dung khá hay, quan trọng trong xây dựng cộng đồng nên chia sẻ lại:
Không tạo các kênh trao đổi bí mật

"Making important decisions in private is like spraying contributor repellant on your project."

"Avoid Private Discussions

Even after you've taken the project public, you and the other founders will often find yourselves wanting to settle difficult questions by private communications among an inner circle. This is especially true in the early days of the project, when there are so many important decisions to make, and, usually, few volunteers qualified to make them. All the obvious disadvantages of public list discussions will loom palpably in front of you: the delay inherent in email conversations, the need to leave sufficient time for consensus to form, the hassle of dealing with naive volunteers who think they understand all the issues but actually don't (every project has these; sometimes they're next year's star contributors, sometimes they stay naive forever), the person who can't understand why you only want to solve problem X when it's obviously a subset of larger problem Y, and so on. The temptation to make decisions behind closed doors and present them as faits accomplis, or at least as the firm recommendations of a united and influential voting block, will be great indeed.

Don't do it.

As slow and cumbersome as public discussions can be, they're almost always preferable in the long run. Making important decisions in private is like spraying contributor repellant on your project. No serious volunteer would stick around for long in an environment where a secret council makes all the big decisions. Furthermore, public discussion has beneficial side effects that will last beyond whatever ephemeral technical question was at issue:

    The discussion will help train and educate new developers. You never know how many eyes are watching the conversation; even if most people don't participate, many may be tracking silently, gleaning information about the software.

    The discussion will train you in the art of explaining technical issues to people who are not as familiar with the software as you are. This is a skill that requires practice, and you can't get that practice by talking to people who already know what you know.

    The discussion and its conclusions will be available in public archives forever after, enabling future discussions to avoid retracing the same steps. See the section called "Conspicuous Use of Archives" in Chapter 6, Communications.

Finally, there is the possibility that someone on the list may make a real contribution to the conversation, by coming up with an idea you never anticipated. It's hard to say how likely this is; it just depends on the complexity of the code and degree of specialization required. But if anecdotal evidence may be permitted, I would hazard that this is more likely than one would intuitively expect. In the Subversion project, we (the founders) believed we faced a deep and complex set of problems, which we had been thinking about hard for several months, and we frankly doubted that anyone on the newly created mailing list was likely to make a real contribution to the discussion. So we took the lazy route and started batting some technical ideas back and forth in private emails, until an observer of the project[10] caught wind of what was happening and asked for the discussion to be moved to the public list. Rolling our eyes a bit, we did—and were stunned by the number of insightful comments and suggestions that quickly resulted. In many cases people offered ideas that had never even occurred to us. It turned out there were some very smart people on that list; they'd just been waiting for the right bait. It's true that the ensuing discussions took longer than they would have if we had kept the conversation private, but they were so much more productive that it was well worth the extra time.

Without descending into hand-waving generalizations like "the group is always smarter than the individual" (we've all met enough groups to know better), it must be acknowledged that there are certain activities at which groups excel. Massive peer review is one of them; generating large numbers of ideas quickly is another. The quality of the ideas depends on the quality of the thinking that went into them, of course, but you won't know what kinds of thinkers are out there until you stimulate them with a challenging problem.

Naturally, there are some discussions that must be had privately; throughout this book we'll see examples of those. But the guiding principle should always be: If there's no reason for it to be private, it should be public.

Making this happen requires action. It's not enough merely to ensure that all your own posts go to the public list. You also have to nudge other people's unnecessarily private conversations to the list too. If someone tries to start a private discussion, and there's no reason for it to be private, then it is incumbent on you to open the appropriate meta-discussion immediately. Don't even comment on the original topic until you've either successfully steered the conversation to a public place, or ascertained that privacy really was needed. If you do this consistently, people will catch on pretty quickly and start to use the public forums by default."
