Hello all,
This is my first post. I got blown away by Haiku when I tried one of
the pre-alpha
builds and since then been lurking here :)

As someone who just finished a XUL app, I'd love to see my app running on
Haiku. The GRE+XPCOM platform is turning to be a pretty decent framework for
cross-platform apps and there seems to be a lot of work going on at Mozilla so
while Chrome may be blazing away at the moment, I'd really like to have the
firefox platform ported to Haiku. And ofcourse, the ton of extensions out
there. So, +1
Cheers,
