Firefox it's open-source community is allot bigger! I think we should use Gecko, more support I think. This is just an idea, so... You know...

I'd say that was a sound starting point. Give me a shout if you need any help from a web developer. Beyond testing, I'm not entirely sure what help I could be, but I thought I'd throw my hat in, anyway.Quote

We are not going to port Gecko. Gecko is way too complicated and uses tons of libraries which are not ported to the Wii. We are starting with something that is simpler, and does not require any extra libraries. Right now, scanff and I are probably going to tweak tinyxml to render html.

I got the website and everything, but once I register how do I identify myself as a member of your group? Also, I'd like to be a beta tester, as I have very little experience coding.Quote

Anyone else who wants to help with the project just register at the link in my last post. We could use testers and suggestions just go to the website.
Thank You

Err, why the eff are you suggesting that they use a project management system on a demo server, Gamewizard71?Quote
demo.redmine.org
Welcome to the Redmine demo server.
This is a test system for Redmine users to try out Redmine and it's new features. All the data is here is temporary test data, so fell free to modify it as you'd like.

I love it when people go "Why hasn't anyone tried to port X to the Wii?" Usually, the answer is because most of these programs don't run in a void, but they depend on the operating system to do a lot of things for them. Any porting effort would likely end up rewriting large ports of an OS, which would not be fun. Porting isn't some magic process where you just give the right compiler commands and get a working program. Really, something to this effect should be stickied somewhere, in addition to the "No warez" and such.

i propose a new web browser, firefox if possible opera is alright but it would be nice if you can actually download things off the web like flash player and mmorpgs and such and just have them saved either on the wii its self or on a sd card another thing instead of having the wii remote as the mouse make it so you can use the nunchuck i think it would be abit easier :) hope you consider all of this it would be nice also if its its possible make it so we can type without useing the keyboard screen but if not thats aight with me:) just a suggestion

Okay, here's the run down with this browser:
1. Flash 10 or @least 9 is definitely possible.
2. Java is out of the question because you cant run 2 things at once like this and would have integrate it into the browser and plus it would make the browser slow because of javas size 2nd it would a waste of time just to play a couple of MMORPGs.
3. We are talking crappy RAM on wii no way can you download onto wii unless an ext. hard drive involved but an sd card is very absolute to download stuff to. Examp. wii shop channel and homebrew browser stream things using internet onto SD. Plus wii RAM is unreliable, Nintendo's next update could overwrite it or patch it like Tw Hck.

Why don't we use the source of Firefox as base? So we don't have to create our own engine; that would save many hours of coding. Mostly porting things.

If this is actually going to go somewhere, I would like to help develop it. Firefox would be good for help, but starting from a simpler, open-source browser seems like the way to go. If anyone else is interested in actually developing this, maybe we could start a small team.
If you set up a google SVN then I'll try and contribute when I have time.

If you give me your google username, I'll add you to the project owners.

Oh cool, I was planning on working on a homebrew web browser but I got caught up in other projects. I'd just like to point out that a good starting point/example would be Bunjalloo, a DS homebrew web browser, since it's also working from a close-to-the-metal standpoint and with a homebrew SDK rather than any official SDK with an OS behind it. If you guys need help I *might* be able to pitch in, but I'm not going to have access to my Wii for about 6 weeks after this week so I figured I'd rather just work on PC projects rather than make a false start on a Wii one. Best of luck to you all though.

And this coming from someone who's also convinced that the Wii Homebrew scene is dead? "Not dying. Dead." Hmmm...Quote

Good place to start from, especially if it complete. If you know about DS homebrew, it is just a dead corpse now. Any signs of bloodflow is actually just caused by the magnetic pull of the earth slowly passing through the iron carried by the blood cells. The scene is deader than death.
