Hi lempkee

 I started the AmiZilla contest and it has not been 1 year yet, almost though. AmiZilla will not use the AWeb engine. Two teams are working on the port, one in Russia and one on the mailing list. A port will take at least 12-14 months because of the size of the project minus programmer time to get a feel for the source code. At least for the team in Russia the focus has moved to porting FireFox since it could be completed sooner. One of the main founders of Netscape is a big Amiga Video Toaster fan and donated over $4000 to the contest. Please let me know if you have further questions anyone. I have also put a lot of my own money into this project so I want to see it complete. In fact everytime a donation is sent in via paypal I cover the paypal fee so the full amount goes to AmiZilla. The more that people donate the more it costs me. The Amiga has needed Mozilla bad for many years!

Unless one of the programmers informs me otherwise AmiZilla will not be based on Voyager. One for the former heads of Netscape Communcations added a lot of $$$ to AmiZilla and requested it be based on Mozilla or FireFox.
