[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] Can Epiphany-browser be ported to Maemo ?

[From: Diego Escalante]

I have some time humbly contributing to Epiphany and with a local
friend we have set as a summer goal to at least try to get Ephy
working in Win32 (by no reason at all, we just want to try and if it
works, great!).

Porting to maemo would be highly related, at least in the most
complicated part that is stripping the GNOME parts out of Ephy, as for
the mozilla part I'm not aware of the current state of projects like
Minimo or anyother relevant ones.

I would be interested in helping (and getting helped by) anyone who
wants to try since I will be trying to do it by myself soon.
Again, I plan to begin only by producing a "non gnome" version. That
alone would help a lot for porting to maemo or win32 (which is my
original plan).

Tips and advices accepted!.

Greetings,
