[Sugar-devel] Browse as a GSoC 2016 Project

[Tony Anderson]

I suspect we need a GSOC task to make this project visible. The GSOC 
task could define the starting point (webkit2 or new branch). We still 
have Richa Sehgal's contribution from last year to integrate with 
Browse. Godiard believes that some developer tools are available in 
Browse but not directly by the toolbar. I would like to see a 'generic' 
toolbar button like Firefox/Googles 3x3 array of dots to open up a more 
complete set of options including access to developer tools like 'show 
source page', and any like Firebug that can be made available.
