Lets create a PCLinuxOS webkit browser (python)

[Hootiegibbon]

I did not read all 25 pages, so sorry if this has already been mentioned.

Why don't you grab the source from Chromiume and build a customized browser out of that? I'm a FireFox user so I doubt I would use it, but you can also grab the source and make a FireFox like customized browser. In fact there is GNU version that should be rather easy to customize called IceCat. I'm only suggesting these because I didn't see the need or reason to make a new browser, if it lacks basic features and the only added benefit is PCLinuxOS branding I wouldn't see a point in using it.

Not sure, but I think Chromiume also supports theme/skins. Why not start out just making some PCLinuxOS theme/skins for popular browsers?

The original aim of the project it to create a PCLinuxOS branded light browser

in that respect Chromium-Browser, & Firefox/Xulrunner based are wayy to big to consider , we have a browser code based on webkit that kinda works , but is not quite what the vision should be.

IF I were to use another browser to base from it wold likely be surf, although tbh xxxterm (great browser) is filling in all the blanks for me atm (if you want to try it wait for version 1.81 to reach the repo

Doesn't the built in browsers already serve this purpose or they still to bloated?

Irrelevant. We are not wanting "just a PCLinuxOS branded" browser. We're creating a lightweight browser. Read the thread.

No. Read the thread.

glamdring,
Without reading the thread, you know the answers.      
Read the thread and send those answers elsewhere. Getting the information correct is the first step.

This is wonderful stuff and I take this opportunity to raise this from the deep sleep - it is spring in most member countries, isn't it?

Jr and me are fiddling --- let me rephrase this --- are trying to learn python from the very beginning and are interested in most bits of code we can get our hands on.  This is obviously way over our fireplace but we love the effort - It's GREAT!!

Can't wait for it to be resurrected ....

See what you can do with the code.

If I can dig in, you can dig in. How else can we learn/gain experience?

True - maybe jr and me can get something out of this - if nothing else at least some fun.

Of course you can. Enjoy it!
