:(

It seems unlike that somebody skilled coder take a task. I belive that there are several reasons for that.

1. Most of coders are A Os4 Or MOs users and they are not interested classic amiga anymore.
2. Many 68k people doesn't actually know what kind of web browser Netsurf is, they think it is just like AWeb/Ibrowse = Outdated

Boynty? It unlikely that I could estabilish succesfull boynty, unless somebody who is known user/coder promises to take a task if he gets enough money.

It is not a native amiga port, it is SDL frontend. It is more like a proof of consept. SDL version of Netsurf is meant to be debug use only.

Anyway it is still usefull many ways, all depencies are already ported for it by Arthur/Bern and ofcourse it is almost usefull.
