Origins of the word Mozilla and a free online book
This is cool: The book Creating Applications with Mozilla is now available for free online. Among other things noted in the preface is the origin of the word Mozilla: "When Netscape Communications Corporation was founded, it planned to create a better version of NCSA's Mosaic browser, the first application that made accessing the Internet possible for ordinary users. This new application would be a Mosaic Killer. In time, the word 'Mozilla' became the shortened version of this phrase and the code word for Netscape's browsers." Nice.
