Syllable, AtheOS The Syllable team makes strides these days on their AtheOS fork, and most of the AtheOS developers have joined Vanders and Rick to their quest of a better operating system. OSNews reader Daryl Dudey joined the Syllable team recently, and he already wrote a nice networking preference panel for Syllable. The team is still looking for a kernel developer though, or C++ developers who like writting low level system software. On a related hobby-OS note, SkyOS made its first steps into the SMP world.

Question:

Is the ported & modified source code of ABrowse* available? Can't remember it being part of the standard AtheOS source code... If not, is this the reason why the Syllable team is relluctant to move to GCC 3.x?
IMO, Syllable is new, and now it is probably the best time to move to a new version of the compiler that might introduce binary incompatibility (which does not matter at this point, as everything is being recompiled for Syllable atm - but is ABrowse's code (the most important app on Syllable/AtheOS) available to recompile?)

* (ABrowse is the AtheOS/Syllable web browser, based on KDE's Konqueror/KHTML 2.1 (coded as of April 2001))
