Fortunately for Haiku, the chicken and egg problem (an OS without 
software is useless) does only partially exist thanks to the binary 
compatibility to BeOS and the huge amount of free software that exists.
By getting the damn thing out of the door we can only increase the 
potential user base. Since we have limited resources (like everybody 
else), we need to focus our resources to achieve Haiku R1. Having a 
decent IDE and light-weight browser is a good idea, having a good and 
Haiku tailored office solution is desperately needed. However, to get 
these things right, there are a lot more resources needed than we can 
spend in the forseeable future.
And even though a browser like Firefox might end up in the Haiku 
distribution, there is no need to copy it into our repository, and the 
same is true for many many other things. What you'll find in the 
repository is Haiku the system, not Haiku the distribution.

Bye,
