   There isnt a Netscape team.   
      
   AOL fired all the 'Netscape' personal working on browser development   
   sometime after Netscape 7.1 was released.   
   They then re-hired some of them to produce the Netscape 7.2 version, but   
   that was only a temporary job.   
      
   They went out and hired some of the people prominent in Firefox, to   
   produce the Netscape 8 project.  Reports as to how long this effort will   
   last have been contradictory.   
      
   "Netscape" as a software company no longer exists.  AOL owns the   
   "Netscape" brand name.
