> I just wanted to announce the launching of the xfweb project. xfweb
> seeks to build a web browser that integrates well with the xfce desktop.
>
> The project goals will be:
>
> 1) Provide integrated webbrowsing, email, calendar management and p2p
> file sharing in a single lightweight application.
>
> 2) Extensibility with plugins written in easy scripting languages.
>
> 3) Ease of use as well as a high degree of configurability and
> customisability.
>
> 4) Strict adherence to relevant standards with useful entensions where
> necessary.
>
> 5) Planned toolkit: XFC
>
> 6) Planned render engine: khtml.
>
> The core of the new browser will be a high performance language neutral
> scripting engine. All functionality will be implemented as either
> scripts or extension libraries to this scripting engines. Existing
> infrastructure like rendering engines and GUI toolkits will be
> integrated using script engine extensions which wrap around libraries.
>
> The scripting engine will most likely be parrot although I'm also
> evaluating how mono could be used. Initially Perl, Python and Lisp will
> be targeted as supported scripting languages. Lisp, of course will be
> the number one priority as that would open up a huge existing collection
> of Emacs scripts that could be ported to the new browser.
>
> In version 2 we will be adding support for Ruby, PHP, Lua and BF as
> scripting languages.
>
> Please note that xfweb is just an initial working title. Suggestions for
> better names will be welcome.
>
> The xfweb project will be moving to it's own domain shortly. In the
> meanwhile http://puggy.symonds.net/~botsie/xfweb will contain news
> updates.
