Haiku OS updating WebKit port for WebPositive

Some exciting news for one of my favorite Operating Systems. Haiku, the Open Source OS that is inspired by the original BeOS and uses some Open Source pieces provided by Be, Inc. before they resolved as a company, are hiring a Software Developer on contract to update the WebKit port for Haiku and to do some work on the Haiku Native Web browser know as “WebPositive”.

The original BeOS native Web browser was known as “Net+” or NetPositive. So, they have given a nod to the past when creating their new browser.

“WebKit” is the Open Source web rendering engine that was started by Apple, branched from the KHTML project and subsequently used for their browser, known as Safari. “WebKit” is used in a number of other major browsers as well, such as the Google Chrome browser and many embedded devices have gone to using WebKit for it’s browsing core.
