Amaya project closed

I was wondering when this was going to happen. Now that we have Mozilla, we don't need another reference implementation... they probably felt that they weren't needed anymore. Every time a new version of Amaya came out, I always tried it, but uninstalled it within minutes. I never liked it. And they never ever bothered to make typing www.domain.com work, which always pissed me off.

Speaking as a Mozilla developer, Mozilla is nothing remotely like a reference implementation. It contains far too much code to deal with "real HTML" to be useful as a reference implementation of the standards.

That, and there are significant gaps and bugs in its implementation of various standards.

Point #2 applies to all browsers I am aware of (including Amaya); point #1 applies to all non-Amaya browsers I am aware of.
