Star Syllable Team Marches On
Linked by Eugenia Loli-Queru on Sun 28th Jul 2002 05:32 UTC
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.

I don't understand... why do you link to OBOS website on your homepage when you are in the team of another OS?

Why would it be easier? We are talking about a full porting again, as in the case of KHTML. And in fact, Gecko is even bigger, more complex and moreover, it is not pure C++ as KHTML and AtheOS/Syllable is. So, I don't see why Gecko would be easier to port than KHTML in this case.

Okie dokie. But I would rather have Gecko instead of KHTML... mainly because Gecko supports more standards than KHTML. But right now, I don't think ABrowse is that important to bother in Sylable, a lot of other things need more attention than ABrowse.

NO KDE! no no never!!!! Not on syllable.

LOL, read the comments above... nothing to do with porting KDE over, but making an implementation of KDE's APIs so porting KHTML would be easier.

Given that Atheos now has a new fork & energy, what is the future goal?

To became bloated 20 years after the 1.0.

It may have been ported fast, but it was around for many months before it was USABLE...

And still isn't usable....

Updating to a newer version of KHTML would be much, much easier than porting Geko.

No one wants to port Geko. We are talking about Gecko! Okay, i'm getting lame.
