Arachne at FreeLists---The Arachne Fan Club!
What I mean, guys, is that without people who can write code
in C, there will be no major improvement in Arachne. There is no
hope now of major improvement.
No hope of SSL or JS.
No hope of Arachne being fully capable of the ordinary functions
that most people expect of a web browser on a routine basis.
Sure, a few people will use it, play with it, adapt it to
various uses. But Arachne will be making no "quantum leap"
forward in the future.
Sad, but true.

Depends on what you mean by that. I am still getting Arachne to
do new
things and I am surely not the only one. Maybe the core is not
going
to see any more quantum leaps, but Arachne's capabilities don't
depend
ONLY on the core.
As Udo pointed out there hasn't been anything but bug fixes and
minor tweakings for years anyway.
Which is still progress.
There is no money to hire anyone.
Got to agree with that. L.D. summed it all up pretty well all
round.
No volunteers to continue development work. Just a rag tag group
of 59
mostly swiftly
aging "dosasaurs"
Sure. :) Oldies, but goodies !
End of the line.
I am not so sure. :)
I use DOS and Arachne every day in my business. And my brain is
not
dead. Yet !
And I am sure I'm not the only one with an on-going interest. So,
in
spite of some of the postings to this list, I have confidence in
Arachne's
future.
And it won't rely on hiring anyone.
Regards,
Ron
