And at all time, we feature the 5 most recent "hall of fame" reviews on the mozilla.org homepage (just simple links). This could be set up by a volunteer using Squishdot or some other existing tool and hosted offsite (on mozdev, for instance) - we'd just pick up the top 5 via RSS syndication. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
I would suggest doing this in cooperation with Mozillazine. They already post a ton of these. It would make the most sense.
> we should have a database vert scary. we have had several bugs for web database and none of them ever got fixed.
Anyone with a library card and knows how to use EBSCO can do this... Rapoza, Jim <jim_rapoza at ziffdavis dot com> "A fighting dragon." eWeek, Jul 28 2003 In a recent statement, Opsware chairman Marc Andreessen said that there is no innovation in browsers. Andreessen was the dominant personality in the browser market when he was at Netscape, but he is flat wrong. >>>> There is plenty of innovation in browsers, and, when it comes to innovation, Mozilla is at least two generations ahead of IE. <<<< When The Mozilla Foundation releases the modular Firebird browser by the end of the year, users looking for an up-to-date browser will have a very compelling choice. Rapoza, Jim "Mozilla lacks nothing except extra baggage" eWeek, Jun 10 2002 (the title says it all :-) ) Grossman, Lev "The Browser That Roared" Time, Mar 29 2002 subtitle: :-) Enter Mozilla, Web-surfing software by the people, for the people. Has Microsoft met its match? Beyond bliss. (was wondering where this came from :-) )

Google News Alerts is a great way to keep up to date: http://www.google.com/newsalerts Covers lots of feeds, so it's pretty all inclusive.

I am printing a comedy magazine that has material from unpublished artists / writers from the somethingawful website. 5000 coppies will be printed and distributed in the US, Canada, the U.K. and Australia. This project is being distributed free and I am putting advertisers in to cover the cost of shipping. Only 30 1/4 page ads are being sold and the rest of the 32 page issue is original material. A 1/4 ad is only $30, if you are interested in helping with the project please contact me at: rwallen@gmail.com
