Great news from Ryan on Haiku-os.org today, the work on his webkit port is progressing and he and Andrea have something to show!

The page above is loaded from disk and there are still a lot of things to work on, like scrolling, as you can read in Ryan’s post but this is an amazing achievement. Especially since Ryan started working on the port only six months ago.

Rumour goes that the webkit port together with the browser front-end will be renamed ‘WebPositive’, if someone can give a better translation of this post at Haiku-it than Babelfish please comment ;)

Giuseppe has aked him for an interview, which will be held next week, if you have some question you can post a comment on Haiku-os.it.
