My only worry about AWeb going open source is the possibility of it becoming too unstable. When one developer works on a project it becomes his baby, & would resist submitting releases that would make him "lose face". With open source, it's a pool of everyone tacking on their kludge in hopes that it'll swing with the rest of the code. Tossed out to the Sharks in the waters to beta test, it becomes a frustrated mess possibly irreversible. It nearly killed Netscape (remember Ver.6.0??).
The Amiga Community doesn't need that kind of fate. I'm an avid AWeb user for the way it functions today-even with it's weaknessess, it's the one Amiga browser I prefer (much to Wayne's dislike-heheheh!) Think I'll make a backup copy of it now before I lose it to a buggy beta upgrade.
