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.

It is not easy to upgrade the KHTML. The way it was ported was literally changing the Qt API over to the AtheOS one. Syncing today it means pretty much, re-porting the whole KHTML Kpart over again, which is something that is pretty difficult to do and requires quite some time...
And there are more pressing matters today for Syllable as an OS, than try to upgrade the browser. The OS doesn't even have swap or IDE/CD-Rom support yet... ABrowse/KHTML 2.1 is more than enough for Syllable as it stands today. It is just important to actually have the porting code readily available, so if the team goes to GCC 3.x, to be able to recompile it, as it would most probably will break binary compatibility.
