Hello, I'd like to propose a new Open Solaris project called "Web Engine". The project will enlarge web client application base of the solaris desktop.
The main goal of web engine project is to port popular opensource browser engines like webkit (http://webkit.org) to the solaris platform. The project will also enrich solaris desktop with browser applications based on the engines. The resulting ports and applications will be represented as set of development and runtime packages for all the architectures. The project will also consider usage of Sun Studio compilers for improving performance and reliability of the resulting applications and libraries. There will be up to date guide for resolving porting issues concerning solaris specific features. This project will be initiated by creating packages of the preliminary port of WebKit browser engine. The leader of the project will be Alexey Ushakov (OS id avu). Best Regards, Alexey
