Thanks for your quick response!
As a potential regular user(ex-BeOS user), I would like to see at least
Firefox fully compatibel with either Flash or Gnash and network manager with
the latest drivers. I know it sounds too much at this moment but I really
would like to see Haiku to shine by itself, so somehow it must compete at
least against Linux. To release an almost-finished version of Haiku would be
consider "not-good" specially when Mac is attracting a lot of new users and
of course, Windows continues to monopolize the rest of the computer world.
I think that the browser should be finished and has to be included in the
first 1.0 version when release.
Just my 2 cents....good luck in your project. I hope everything goes well.
