Josh will soon write a summary of future goals for Linux embedding to the <a href=\"http:\/\/groups.google.com\/group\/mozilla.dev.embedding\">mozilla.dev.embedding newsgroup<\/a>. Accomplishing these goals may involve additions to the existing gtkmozembed API, a backwards-compatibility layer to support gtkmozembed while promoting a new API, or replacing gtkmozembed outright.
