Just repeating in public what I leaned over and told m_stone and cjb: I'd rather see us just give up on Browse and ship and appropriately configured Firefox. I just can't see OLPC devoting enough developer resources long-term to maintain a competitive browser. I understand that the major benefit of WebKit is speed and (memory, NAND) size. I'd like to see a quantitative comparison against both our current gecko-based browser and against firefox, so that we can make a more informed decision re: whether it is still to our benefit to ship a bespoke browser. --scott (mstone reports that 'yum install firefox' and 'firefox' is a decent basis for comparison, although we can tweak firefox's configuration and package it as an RPM to get a nicer sugar look&feel if we really wanted to pursue this route.) -- ( http://cscott.net/ ) _______________________________________________ Sugar mailing list Sugar@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/sugar
