Welcome to the blog of Can Sar, a Stanford CS major. This blog is made up of my thoughts on Computer Science and the computer industry, as well as ever exciting tales from my life.
I will give Camino 2 weeks, as of today, to release a new version, otherwise I will switch my main browser to Safari.

Posted by on November 12, 2003 04:11 PMI am actually running yesterday's nightly build now. I usually stay with the release versions because I like stability because I write long blog entries and often don't save. :-)
Unfortunately there is nothing in the new nightly build that I find particularly exciting, and I hope that Camino will start using standard Cocoa text fields soon so that Spell-Checking works.
So you really wanted to say, "I will give Camino 2 weeks, starting now, to implement native text fields or I will use Safari."
Or perhaps, "I will give Camino 2 weeks, starting now, to implement something I find particularly exciting, or I will use Safari."
2 words: open source.
longer explanation: if you want something done, do it yourself. that's how community projects like Camino/Mozilla work. Somebody contributes, everybody benefits.
I can't decide if you'd be a number 1 or 2 on David Hyatt's list of bug guilt trips.

Also as a user I just do not see why I should use Camino over Safari. I encourage everyone to use Camino if they like it and hope it continues to exist, it's a great browser. But I don't have the time to work on a browser if a different one that I like already exists.
I was wondering, are you a Camino developer? What is going on development-wise, what are they working on?
