just curious. lynx can be trusted to cover the entire kuddelmuddel called
"world wide web". it is well represented by Thomas Dickey. links is now
what many hope for: browsing in text-mode and also capable of
javascript and graphics, running native code for each platform, of which
are many. elinks has no javascript, but lua and is very alive under
professional-class development.
Mikulas Patocka is for links, Petr "pasky" Baudis for elinks. there are
other projects whose goal is "good surfing":
Dillo Web Browser :: Home Page, small, graphical
http://dillo.cipsga.org.br/
there's also netrik, text mode browser with ecma javascript
http://netrik.sourceforge.net/
the three names associated with their respective projects form the
"personality" of (the development of) their products. mikulas patocka
moreover belongs to Twibright Labs
http://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~clock/twibright/links/index.html, pasky
claims to be^W^W^Wis of value to the development of IPv6 :) he's doing a
great job, though, and never came back those who set out about who's
ghostwriting for pasky. what a sad story ... thomas dickey maintains lynx
and vile and xterm and ..., also doing a very good job.
my questions:
x. do the people named in this document cooperate actively?
x. will we see a cross ported version of the best of links <-> elinks?
i would love a textbrowser having SSL, javascript and lua and graphics,
100% compatible to all those sites i must browse to.
