[ge-talk] Updating Net+

[Fredrik Holmqvist]

Yes, there has been work done there and the googlegroups has a few
discussions, which I've been part as well. The effort to port the latest
webkit has been discussed there, but I'm not sure how the work is done (as
in project) or by whom. Hopefully (IMO) they, or we, will organize
themselves as a team under Haiku, where we in the future can have a unified
interface to different rendering engines.

These are mostly my own opinions though, so just managing to port Webkit to
Haiku would be great.
Hopefully someone more well informed can give more details.

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.
