As seen on the mailing list (and on HaikuWare) Ryan Leavengood has started a thread to try to see if there are enough motivated developpers to work on the creation of an Haiku native browser.

One year ago, Ryan succeded in porting the WebKit to Haiku (completing HaikuWare’s bounty) but since then nothing has realy been made out of it.  In his efforts he was helped by Andrea Anzani and Stephan Aßmus.

In the mean time tough the WebKit code evolved and the actual code should be ported again (eased by the work previously done).

Discussions were also raised on wether or not port Cairo, Firefox, Chrome, what about the BeZilla Browser, etc.

Nice initiative guys, we definitively need a technologically up-to-date NetPositive like app for our Haiku.
