It is no longer maintained and depends on a pretty old version of chromium. It works in general, but I believe that Alex has run into some javascript bugs in this version. There is a newer BSD-licensed chromium-based embedded browser project called Berkelium which is maintained and uses the latest version of chromium along with its multi-process architecture goodness. This is the library I would have used if it had been available at the time. I think it would be a good idea to have a student take another look at all the options to determine the best route to take. > > Cheers, > > Uli > > On Feb 19, 2010, at 4:14 PM, Alex Harrington wrote: > > > There's still some useful work that could be done on the browser > > integration. > > > > I'd be happy to jot down a list > > > > > > Alex > > > > Ulrich von Zadow <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > Hi everyone, > > > > I would like to apply for Google Summer of Code with libavg this year. > > For those who do not know what this is, it means that google would pay > > one or several students $5000 for working on a specific libavg- > > oriented task. > > > > Before I start working on topics, detailing project ideas, etc.: > > - Are there any project ideas you have besides the ones already > > written down in the wiki? > > (https://www.libavg.de/wiki/index.php/Ideas_for_Expansion > > ) > > - Is there anyone here that would like to apply as a student and has a > > specific topic on his/her mind? > > > > More information on Google SoC is here: > > > http://socghop.appspot.com/document/show/gsoc_program/google/gsoc2010/faqs > > > > Deadlines are: > > 3/8-3/12: libavg application as a 'mentoring organization' must be > > handed in to Google > > 3/18: Google publishes list of accepted mentoring organizations > > 3/29-4/9: Student application period > > > > Cheers, > > > > Uli > > > > -- > > Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced. > > > > Ulrich von Zadow | +49-172-7872715 > > Jabber: [email protected] > > Skype: uzadow > > > > > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > > libavg-users mailing list > > [email protected] > > https://mail.datenhain.de/mailman/listinfo/libavg-users > > > > > > This email carries a disclaimer, a copy of which may be read at > http://learning.longhill.org.uk/disclaimer > > > > _______________________________________________ > > libavg-users mailing list > > [email protected] > > https://mail.datenhain.de/mailman/listinfo/libavg-users > > > > -- > Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced. > > Ulrich von Zadow | +49-172-7872715 > Jabber: [email protected] > Skype: uzadow > > > > > _______________________________________________ > libavg-users mailing list > [email protected] > https://mail.datenhain.de/mailman/listinfo/libavg-users >
