$2000 to the first person who ports Mozilla to Amiga OS

This is beyond excelent. Running Mozilla applications is going to get better and better. Soon, when you run Moz apps, the environment will be universal (each app will share universal resources) instead of the app having its own each time its executed.

With a standalone browser, email client, chat client?, composer, and many many other tools, this is a great initiative.

I wonder i someone could develop a desktop based on mozilla... I know there is HomeBase, but im not sure how well its integrated with it. Could be interesting seeing a workbench replacement based on mozilla....

Maybe Hyperion could think about that when Workbench needs to be rewrittin (probably from scratch).

For all who have not visited the mozilla thread on ann.lu, please do. A question has raised whether to port Mozilla, or maybe redirect the funds to IBrowse development. Maybe start the discussion here aswel, as off topic as it may be.

iBrowse? Yer, good project, but in no way should it take those funds from a project that could set future development of AmigaOS. I mean, when you port Mozilla, your getting not just an app, but an Environment in which to run Mozilla applications.

Soon, Mozilla will only be an environment, and you'll have with your mozilla package, a standalone browser, mailclient and maybe a few other things.

Porting Mozilla will make it so much easier to port applications written for mozilla.

That is as i see it, more important than anything else!!!!

(firebird will soon become the default browser of the mozilla package)

Im guessing it'll be easier for Amiga Inc to let go of some furniture or PC's instead of the money considering they prolly have huge monetry probs.

The PC's are prolly worth more as PC's than money anyway!!! (in terms of what someone could do on them)
