Mac.Ars had a chance to find out what's up in the world of Camino (and open source development on OS X) by chatting with Mike Pinkerton, the driving force behind Camino. In the interview he talks about the pace of development, his thoughts on Safari, and how Camino got its start in the first place:
Camino was a free, open-source browser for the Mac, built on Mozilla's Gecko engine. Unlike other Mozilla-based browsers of its era, Camino featured a totally native OS X interface from day one.

The goal of this project was to make a fast, standards-compliant browser that just worked. It didn't have 50,000 features, you couldn't check your email from the certificate dialog. It was streamlined and simple; exactly what you needed and nothing more.

Mike also discusses the effect the release of Safari had on Camino, some of the challenges in doing open-source development on Mac OS X, and the future direction of Camino. Check it out.
