>Very soon, I am going to release GGI version of Arachne for Linux.
It has one big speed advantage against SVGAlib: I have set asynchronous
screen access, so you can define max. frame-per-second rate of your
screen in arachne.conf... as a result, it loads and display pages even
faster than SVGAlib verrsion...

What is GGI? I thought there was only X-Windows and SVGAlib.
>I take it seriously - but there are simply too many of them. We need
some "Bugzilla" (site which is used for bug tracing by Mozilla team),
and maybe it is really time to open-source Arachne. Bernie's first
contributions are quite promising, although no real serious bug was
addressed by them...

Arachne is too much for one person, competing against MSIE, Mozilla, even
Net-Tamer for DOS. Open source would make it legal to use open-source parts
from other sources (OpenSSL, maybe Shockwave/Flash from Mozilla) in Arachne;
would also permit porting to other platforms (*BSD, BeOS for instance) that
might possibly be used in set-top boxes, cell phones and other such systems.
>I would like to get to some more or less stable, usable, sustained
version, and then have a rest for some time. But it seems that each time
I release new version, it means only new bugs, and list of missing
features is growing too fast. I am starting to feel it is time to gave
up...

An argument for teamwork and open source...
