OK, Mariano! Before we engage in "who'll do it" we have to have a clear vision 
on the _what_ to do it!

If the project participant's all agree with this, we can open an issue specific 
to table what should be kept from the incumbent browser[s] to the one 
considered to be the next thing®.

I surmase correctly O2 is the one to be fully developed and we should scavenge 
the interesting ideas from the other available implementations (IIUC including 
Whisker).

Then we can see if the desired features fit in the present architecture (still 
thinking of O2) or if we should start from a lower ground implementing all the 
new ideas using Glamor (for example).

Once the all effort is more or less understood, we can look for ways of getting 
resources for it (including the funding for people working in it, or chopping 
the tasks in chunks small enough that via Sprints and programming parties we 
arrive at our objective).

I think Pharo would be a nice "example" for the Smalltalk community if we can 
get this kind of 'disperse engineering' to work!
