Mozilla Corp is currently hiring a contractor to do precisely that. https://careers.mozilla.org/position/ohUW2fwT IMHO Thunderbird should replace:
- Gecko with Blink
- XPCOM with normal plugins (I don't think anyone is making any real use of the unique features of XPCOM, e. g. the universal binary interface)
- XUL with QML/WPF/alike. Qt would provide a full-stack alternative:
- Gecko -> QtWebEngine
- XPCOM -> QPluginLoader
- XUL -> QML Maintainability and performance would increase exponentially. |
