ambitious on the DX12 time-frame. Also dsd sees surf as a prototype that we
can work further to complete:
''Existing prototype: Surf

The pywebkitgtk-based Surf activity can be used as a prototype. Possible
areas that need work are:


   - Downloads - originally missing due to no support in
pywebkitgtk<http://www.mail-archive.com/sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org/msg08959.html>
but
   now landed?
   - persistant history - not saved across sessions (or journal entries)
   - clipboard/undo/redo - should be simple
   - back and forward buttons - you can go back and forward through your
   history, but autocomplete and skipping back or forward in the history is not
   implemented. shouldn't be too hard to complete
   - arrow key navigation in textbox
   - No cookie support''



cheers
