[tdf-discuss] Adding the browser to Libreoffice
Dear all, after some talks with some board members, the request rised to include more members and developers in the idea of adding a browser to Libreoffice. We know this needs time and work, but would not be impossible to add it to the installer and create a place to be for it, and see, how the community reacts to it and requests more interaction. This security orientated webkit browser would be a good codebasis for that: http://sourceforge.net/projects/dooble/ Any pro or cons from anyone? No person in the office works today without the internet, the consequence is, an office suite needs or could provide an open source browser. Anyone interested to test or join the idea or recommendations for the steps to plan?

Re: [tdf-discuss] Adding the browser to Libreoffice
I'm a common and simple user, no more, no less, so perhaps there's a part of the picture i'm missing, but there are some questions that arise: - What would be the befenit of adding a browser to the current office suite ? - What different features would keep you from reinventing the wheel / allow you to do a better job than other communities that are dedicated to mantaining and creating a browser ? - Is this really the best place to put dev effort at the moment for libreoffice ? My implicit response is that I don't like the idea, and I think the community will react negatively to it. To me, it is a bit far fetched.

Netsurf / Midori might also be interested and are small codebase and lightweight.

Re: [tdf-discuss] Adding the browser to Libreoffice
I can see the point behind working with one or more of the open source browsers to better integrate libreoffice with the browser. I can even see the point of offering that browser as part of the download, but I am not convinced that writing yet another open source browser is a good idea. It seems a waste of developer resources and it would be unlikely that enough good developers could be attracted to do the work in order to compete with the established projects. I use coffee every day in the office but I don't expect libreoffice to supply me with it :-) Just my 2p for what its worth I am not a libreoffice developer.
