Sorry to kill your hopes on this one, but the students project is dead meat already

Dear All,
The students have finished their projects, and everything has been marked! The better reports I shall make available to the list, and to the wider Amiga community when I have time, and when I receive electronic copies from the students.
Some accomplished more than others, while some accomplished very little at all. Most of the output was in the form of documentation, which could serve a new person wishing contribute quite well. We have some pretty good reports on X11, NSPR, and GTK-MUI. GDK project was quite poor so I don't really want to talk about that.
It has been a learning experience, and perhaps I would have changed the way in which future projects were conducted. Alas, this will not be happening again, as King's College London did not renew my 2-year contract which expires at the end of July. I will be looking for lectureships elsewhere, but as it is in the real world there are no guarantees.
God willing, if I get a position elsewhere, I shall once again be offering Amiga-based projects. Until then I shall be running my Taekwondo classes to keep me going.
The students have stopped working on Mozilla long time ago i think, don't think they made much progress? Still some other people are working on it but I think development is slow.
Guess our best chances for a decent browser (within the next year..) must be iBrowse and Sputnik.
Aweb lacks so many features that I hardly use it anymore
Ibrowse indeed looks very promising and I hope that the new version of this great browser will be released soon. The programmers have done an excellent job. I am overly impressed how fast it manages to display pictures using my 68030 processor.
I am a bit disappointed to hear these news about the Amizilla project. Many fellow Amigans have done a good deed and donated for this project. I reckon that over 10000 dollars have been collected! This money is hardly enough to get some good programmers paid for working on such a project, but it should serve as a sign of good will for these brave fellows who accepted this burdensome and difficult task.

Hi poweramiga,
Firefox on AOS4.0?
Oh, I don't know, I mean how cool would it be to be able to say "thanks, but no thanks"??
Also, WookieChat ... to any windos IRC PageStream 5 .... to Adobe's DTP SuperBase 5 ... to what ever MS's got YAM ... to outlook express (yech) DPaint, PPaint ... to Corel Draw
I'm lost now to the others, but BE PROUD!
Support Amiga Fantasy cases!!! How to program: 1. Start with lots and lots of 0's. 10. Add 1's, liberally. "Details for OS 5 will be made public in the fourth quarter of 2007, ..." - Bill McEwen Whoah!!! He spoke, a bit late.
IBrowse 2.4 has now reached release candidate stage, and it is now in the final stages of testing, in anticipation for a release within the next few weeks.
May I suggest a release on my birthday the 20th of december? And while we're at it, Amiga and Hyperion are free to use this date as well for exiting news!
