BeOS & Derivatives Ryan Leavengood reports on the Haiku website: "I know I have been very quiet for a while in regards to my Haiku WebKit port, but that is because I've been in a long session of coding. I am happy to report that this weekend I finally got WebCore compiling for Haiku. So what does this mean? Does it mean the port is now complete? Unfortunately, no it doesn't." Update: Haiku gets a featured speaker spot and a booth at ScaLE 6x Expo

I follow the Haiku project avidly, but posting this as news is a bit of a stretch, and one would think puts more pressure on Ryan. Good luck to him, but let him get further ahead!

Almost as news-worthy as the Open Document Foundation ;)

Good point, but personally I love to hear anything about Haiku in the news. That means that it is still alive in the eyes of the online community, which means interest is maintained. I hope I'm not the only "regular user" out there who is eagerly awaiting a beta release of this amazing OS.

Congratulations...

Are in order for Ryan.

Now comes the hard part of debugging and eventually optimizing.

Getting it to compile is a good first milestone.

It certainly shows progress!

Good News

Anyone wanting to try out the latest Haiku can get the weekly super pack from haikuware.com and install it in VMware to see how well it works.
