Yes, Bill Panagouleas and I have been talking about the project since the first mention of it in public. I brought my ideas about getting involved to Bill and Raquel's attention around the 19th of last month. We had a long discussion about it, as above, and talked about better funding and guidelines.

After presenting these guidelines to Bill P, which were to ensure that all the PPC OSes MorphOS, AROS, and AmigaOS would be targeted and in the hope that good project management and development stategies  would begin to take shape, Bill agreed on the 22nd that should we participate those stipulations were indeed acceptable and desirable.

Now we are waiting to see a higher level of activity in what teams and individuals propose, with an eye on feasibility, research, non-partisanship, and with some semblance of being able to proceed with well-organized project management.

We think the availability of a recognized cross-OS, cross-platform browser has the benefit of familiarity for people from other communities as well as supplying essential browser features and higher website compatibility. It would also be nice to see people within the community sharing the effort and the potential benefits.

Ah, I see the respect for proper research is being firmly reinforced - and the cooperative team spirit most earnestly being explored here, as we speak! Truly serendipitous! And so reassuring: it becomes immediately apparent that an ambitious and taxing community project will indeed succeed ; }

but stop making derisory comments about anyone you can't do a deal with

Yes. It would be nice if we ALL could live with similar ideals intact. And never be thinking similar credos should only apply to OTHERS ; }

KennyR,

Truth be told I'd rather see the fastest and most fully compliant browser available free and with a T-shirt too, for all these platforms - available last year.

...Failing that, I'd like to see progress and choice, and maybe spur the native browsers forward as well ;  }
