Look of the website should be much more professional so that it can be taken seriously.

I'm always happy to make improvements, ricky, but I'll need something more specific than "should be much more professional." For example, what parts do you like, what parts do you think should be changed and why (and how would you change it)?

Also, please keep in mind that this is a brand new site - I'm really still getting things set up, and right now I am more interested in making sure there is some useful content. Other than that, the site will evolve in any direction that is useful to its intended audience.

The blue color doesn't fit with the standard colors of mozdev.org, the horizontal length of the list items doesn't resize when you resize the window, so at some point it overlaps the right hand side menu.
At least these two aspects need to be fixed.

Fixed the horizontal length problem (thanks for noting that problem). I'll work on the color scheme later - as noted previously, content is a higher priority right now.

Sounds like a good idea. I work at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston. A lot of our users are familiar with Netscape Messenger for mail, but IE for browsing. I like Mozilla and me and our departmental Linux guy have been pushing it around here.

Especially after that CERT recommendation to use "anything but IE". :)

Now if the Moz team can come up with an auto update feature or similar notifier, that would be nice (unless I overlooked it). Keep up the good work!

I agree that an auto update capability would be a great improvement. This is not currently available as far as I know, but I think we may see something soon.

I'm interested to know what other features people would like to see to make Mozilla more "enterprise friendly."

Suggestions, anyone?

There are 4 major things that need attention and actual development to aproach mozilla to enterprise world:

1- Robust backup utility integrated with the mozilla suite so that administrators can schedule backups of mails and contacts across the network to a storage device

2- Robust calendar (more robust than the actual one) with potent management of events. For example, in the same calendar file you can have private events, events only seen by some predefined groups of users, etc...

3- The autoupdate functionality mentioned above. I lose a lot of time upgrading workstations.

4- Complete set of plugins to sync moz with handheld devices like pocket pc, palm, etc... I have some problems with users that were used to sync outlook with their devices and once they begin working with mozilla they loose some features.

But the bright side is that moz is already a potent suite and my company has all its users using mozilla as their default tool. Some users prefer to surf with IE despite my efforts to tell them about the benefits of using one instead the other though.

As someone who used to support Mozilla and Netscape on commercial (non-free) platforms, one of the most common calls from enterprise-class customers was how to do customizations that would affect a whole class of users, and how to propagate those customizations to the entire user base. Some of the customers wanted to *remove* the ability of users to customize the interface, change settings and otherwise limit the behavior of the browser. These uses are distinct from what the individual user would like to do and are often at odds with the whole intent of 'user preferences', but this is the situation that enterprise customers are in. Some of the browser environments are kiosks, and others are special-purpose 'captive' environments where the user's access needs to be limited and controlled.

Examples and tools of this sort of customization would be very helpful to this user base.

Rick -

Excellent suggestion. On the information page, I have added two references on locking preferences, as well as two references on "kiosk mode."

Thanks.

MastaBrembo: There is a feature already built in to check for Firefox and Extension updates. In the options menu, under the advanced button, all you need to do is fill the check box. Then it will check for a new version every time you start FF.

The Firefox update feature is excellent for the home user, but not in the enterprise for these reasons: 1. The update feature is not in the Mozilla suite (I do not know if there are any plans to add it). 2. The Firefox update requires user interaction - there is no way for a system administrator to "push" an update to all users (or hold off on an update prior to testing). In the enterprise, it is necessary to amke sure all users get an update when needed, and not before.

A couple things for windows environments:

1) MSI installers so that it can be rolled out through group policy to machines where users don't have admin priveleges. (MSI can automatically elevate priveleges during the install).

2) FORCED configuration settings through a central interface.

I support a small (21 station) computer lab in a college library. I want to install Firefox 1.0, but I haven't yet found a way to force it to use a single profile no matter who logs on. I've done some searching, but I haven't found an answer -- if anyone could point me to an appropriate resource I'd be grateful.

I don't see any activity here since Jan. 2005. Is this project still alive, or is it a way to keep out-of-work electrons busy?
