This was Netscape's attempt at turning its browser into an open
source/community effort. Unfortunately due to various reasons, things
did not quite work out according to the plan. Several key Netscape
developers left the company due to their frustrations with the project.
Netscape 5.0 is still being developed and I have not heard of any
working betas. Neoplanet might have a product based on what has come
out of this effort but I don't know how developed that product is.
