| It should be, if the author wants or not is another matter... Both AROS and OS3.x lacks MUI 4, amongst others libs the author take granted for on MorphOS.
But don't forget, if this browser indeed materializes, it will be fully open and could be easily ported to Am*ga platform, which makes it IMO the best bounty of all... Last edited by pixie on 19-Mar-2007 at 08:24 PM.

| The "problem" with Sputnik is, that it is partly closed source and can not be goal of this bounty, unless full source is released with the AROS release...
Pahia is not a fully working engine to my understanding. AWeb lacks the features requested (Some of the open source AWeb team seems to think about going KHTML too...), and seems to need (on AROS) non existing class act. IBrowse is closed source and can not be improved from "outsiders". Voyager: Don't know-abandoned closed source? Nobody can improve it (properly) without source. You do not want to patch the executable in ASM... 
That's a reason for going the open source road, if the developer looses interest you are not left out alone in the cold. You don't get the situation where the code is there, but locked up and gathering dust.
It is stated that a existent (linux) engine should be ported (so not an effort from scratch like Pahia), and that a _small_ Zune (AROS equivalent for MUI, also availabel for OS 3.x thanks to AfA OS) browser should be created for it (so no code monster port - like Mozilla is) . One of the goals is, to turn the engine into an .mcc (or something). If you feel like it (and are capable), you can port the engine and it could be used in IBrowse...
Hopefully the _small_ browser could grow better than IBrowse with time...
Bye
