idea.. do you know the laptop.org project? There are side projects involving the use of old hardware for anti digital divide purposes.. Shouldn't it be a good thing to develope a browser based on mozilla for os4 or even older releases and try to pass the old amiga hardware as anti digital divide solution for the poor countries as a cheap solution? I mean.. even with an old p200 and w98 I can browse the internet almost flawlessly.. The governments pour millions of dollars in these anti digital divide projects for the poor.. Amiga could be a competitor and the installed base would magically start to grow again.
I've made these arguements for over 5 years, as my former co-workers can attest. The problem a) none of the corporate guys will fund such a project and b) none in the remaining community have the skill for such a port.
Simply, all that is needed is to take the core mozilla rendering engine, gecko, and make that a loadable library. Then all of the existing amiga browsers could utilize it if coded right.
