Re: [MiNT] OT Highwire
Hi!
Perhaps it slipped through the first time as I haven't seen any
reactions before so I will reiterate on the idea: WebKit should be the
way for a _compatible_, and reasonably slim open-source browser. Like
I said, the Android adapted version should be suitable for any low-
powered HW.
BTW: Yesterday I watched the V8 guts description and it could be fun
to have m68k JIT in there. IMO That would be the OO language of choice
for FreeMiNT - moreover even a scripting one..
Somebody willing to give those a try?

I decided to try that Dillo2 + FTK2, if it's even worth the port and
I don't know guys. Javascript, ssl, correct rendering of some more

browsing experience as with Highwire, Highwire even has more setting
options in the menu =)
Only advantage what Dillo2 has is the chance (!) of being better in
the future -- but it depends on how many crazy people will support
it (that similarity with HW is quite funny ;-). For us the problem
is we need to rewrite ("port") FLTK2, this wont be fun, I looked
into code, definitely work for 3-4 months (at least!).
