World: r3wp

postgresql or mysql also pretty much required

ORCA is dormant, but in use, so development will wake up again one 
day

No bigger databases yet. Someone tried PostreSQL and we ran into 
a porting snag for the moment being

Anyone porting Firefox?

the thing is ... the browser is becoming the dominant platform now

Been tried, but too difficult for the moment being. It's humongous

We need to do this step by step

Kaj that's great to hear about audio. I'm going to check Syllable 
again once my new GFX card arives (it's not working my my old one).

But we have an announcement in that direction, too :-)

Still not working with your card?

is the Syllable LivePC being updated?

What was it, again?

it was matrox millenium 2mb, I'm probably the last one still using 
it ;)

but I should have a new one next week

The LivePC, forgot about that one already. It's contributed, so I 
guess not. We are releasing a VMWare image ourselves, now, though

Is javascript fully supported in the browser?

As far as I know, yes

But, announcement next week :-)

(There are always snags with parts of browser functionality)

no antivirus software?

clam AV?

We don't have viruses :-)

KHTML browser should be easier to port.

Such as Linux anti-virus would probably not be hard to port

No, you may not have viruses, but you also don't want to send attachments 
that do ...

I wonder about your comment - REBOL in the works, Orca (check). What 
do you mean by that? Isn't Orca the only Rebol awailable to you?

Our browser has been based on KHTML for six or seven years - years 
before Apple did it

wait for next week

LOL

Graham - it surely can't come with everything from the very beginning 
:-)

Come to the conference. I can bring you Autumn to listen :-)

I'm getting a status report!

conference is in Dutch?

Autumn to listen? Don't understand, sorry :-)

I guess we'll speak English

takes advantage of multicore processors?

Gathering, Autumn

Yes, SMP design from the beginning, and we fixed the implementation 
last year

BeOS model

the 10 second boot is very appealing

if the other stuff is there too!

Yeah, it's like a carrot that is dangling just too far :-)

MorphOS booting still faster though. Version 2.0 close to release. 
Hopefully it has native tcp/ip stack at least now :-)

Watch the announcement, though :-)

hehe, Syllable ported to Efika PPC board :-)

Yes, Amiga tech is the only thing that is still faster. But outdated 
tech and more stuff missing than in Syllable

is Syllable multiuser? Not that I would strictly require that from 
desktop os personally ....

make sure that the license says it can't be used by the military!

I dunno what crazy things the military wants

I remember they used to have Amiga 3000s on war ships .. because 
they rebooted faster than windows PCs
