[ge-talk] Updating Net+

[Fredrik Holmqvist]

There is work done to bring both Webkit (KHTML-based, www.webkit.org) and
Gecko to be usable as rendering engines. I'm not sure who was working on
webkit atm though. The point is that your suggestion is being worked on.

I myself work mostly on Firefox, and have plans to fix the embedding for
Gecko. I'd love to work on Webkit though, although that probably won't
happen in the near future.

Chaordic: things that thrive on the edge of chaos with just enough order to
give them pattern, but not so much to slow their adaptation and learning.
