This was a starting point for planning and design information for the Firefox 2 "Bon Echo" release, including schedules, feature sets, and branch process information.


This is a starting point for planning and design information for the Firefox 2 release, including schedules, feature sets, and branch process information.
== Project Status ==
The Bon Echo project ended with the successful shipping of Firefox 2 on the Gecko 1.8.1 [[Platform]] on October 24th, 2006 ([http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/2.0/releasenotes/ release notes]).  Security and bug fix releases (Firefox 2.0.0.1, etc.) continued as part of Mozilla 1.8.1 branch maintenance.
See the [[Firefox3|Firefox 3 (Gran Paradiso) Planning Center]] for information on the next release.


Nothing here is finalized, let alone set in stone.  Individuals working on the project or interested in the process are encouraged to subscribe to the [http://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/bonecho mailing list]
