Hi,

The effects of this should be very interesting to watch.

The Mozilla wiki is not clear about dates, have you any idea if this 
will make F10 or is F11 material?

If it is Firefox 3.1 as some blogs have hinted, it might even be 
available as a update in Fedora 9.

A bit of research shows that the release date for Firefox 3.1 is not 
defined precisely, but as "a late 2008 or early 2009".

Just recently they released the first Alpha (without video support), 
which will be followed by a number of Alphas, Betas and RCs. As past 
experience tells, *if* Fedora 10 will have the new version, it will 
start tracking the development branch in Rawhide (now Rawhide is at 
Firefox 3.0.1).

My pessimistic self is tempted to believe more the "early 2009", which 
is just in time for Fedora 11 and near to the end of the life cycle of 
Fedora 9.

I think this release is somewhat important (as Rahul pointed in the 
initial message) because it will impact the way we publish videos 
related to Fedora.
