Community Development Volunteer
Is the number of programmer hours that went into development of Mozilla FireFox comparable to that of Explorer
Obviously nobody knows exact number of volunteer hours that it took to create Mozilla FireFox and no doubt the hours that Microsoft programmers spend developing Explorer is confidential, however, does anybody has a guess if the number of hours is comparable or one of the browsers took much less time to develop. If so which product took less hours? Is the difference in hours less than say ten times? I figured some folks in the open source community must have some sense of what the answer might be.
Likely not even close.
Though the Mozilla project likely doesn’t have an official clocking system for it’s developers the fact that it’s an open source project could mean that thousands of people are working on it at any one time.
The IE team is a relatively small group of dedicated programmers and designers. Also, the IE engine hadn’t really been completely overhauled in some time so that probably saved a lot of time too.
