A little correction:
Boot to Web (B2W)
Boot to WebKit (B2WK)
Sorry for the confusion.

I would like to inform you all about the following points:
1. We have registered our project Sugarfox (TM), publicated on the 9th
of October 2013 ([1]), at Mozilla Firefox OS and its related
marketplace with the creation of a partner account for our company
with the following short description:
Sugarfox brings the learning environment Sugar in its web version
based on HTML and JS together with the Firefox OS.
2. To port Boot to Gecko (B2G) respectively Firefox OS on X86 was
already started around the year 2012 by some Mozilla supporters
(actually looking for the old informations led to [2]).
3. Because you are developing Sugar Web Activities on the web browser
(rendering) engine WebKit, it might be better to take our other
proposed project Boot to WebKit (B2W; [3]) for a fully HTML, CSS and
JavaScript based Sugar, though this should not be needed at all due to
the interoperability of the applied web technologies.
Personally and honestly, I am not very interested in programming for
Sugarfox, because of another related project that is the updated
respectively extended version of B2W now called Boot to WebCore, which
should get our C++Core based on the Cling C/C++ interpreter besides
the still optionally available JavaScriptCore. For sure, this could
become another option for the Sugar learning environment.
Nevertheless, you can ask me everything related with software
technology, software architecture and so on.
Have fun

This is a very interesting development as a possible base
platform for a future fully html based Sugar. B2G always felt like
the perfect platform for it, if not because it wouldn't (fully) work
on a normal Linux distro.

Subject: [b2g] Introducing B2G to x86
To: dev-...@lists.mozilla.org <mailto:dev-...@lists.mozilla.org>
Hello everyone,
I would like to initiate a new open-source community project to port
FireFox OS to the Intel/AMD x86-64 platform.
I'm thinking along the lines of the port for RasPi that Oleg Romashin
developed - executing Gecko on top of a vanilla Linux kernel with
only the essential drivers/libraries loaded.
Supposedly this method would let us run FF-OS on an x86 PC like other
Linux distros; e.g. Ubuntu, Fedora; just that its UI would be Gecko
instead of KDE or Gnome.
This way we should also be able to reduce our dependence on Android
as the backbone of FireFox OS.
Perhaps further down the line we could also take advantage of UEFI
booting and B2G in < 10 seconds?
Would anyone be interested in contributing to this effort?
Looking forward to an exciting time ahead!
Hugh
