There is with OWB. It's for all camps now. The problem is that a core component doesn't work with big endian anymore, and the webkit team don't care to fix it. This means that webkit doesn't work with PPC anymore. That is why we havn't seen an update in 2 years except for little endian AROS. It's not infighting, it's a technical problem. And the guys are trying to find a solution for it.

It's not lack of interest, it's lack of developers who can fix this problem.

I didn't get the impression he would fix it. Only that a bounty was proposed. If deadwood can fix it I bet a lot of people would donate. Me included.

I propose this for the sake of ending the arguments:

Step 1, appoint someone trustworthy and knowledgable to dig into this problem. Perfarbly someone who is pro all camps.
Step 2, find all tangable solutions (fix component, use alternative etc)
Step 3, find someone inside or outside the community with the time and talent to fix and maintain component (and not take forever doing so)
Step 4, ask if a bounty will do. If yes then
Step 5, open up a bounty

If it's Fab, Deadwood and/or Kas1e, all the better.

My 2 cents.
