Solve the endianess issue in Odyssey's JavaScript engine to allow using it on big endian CPUs. One of the approaches
can be to bring in the minimal set of changes from Leaopard WebKit repository to Odyssey repository.

I could imagine that it would be interesting for MorphOS users. Perhaps people could participate in discussion.

I'll happily donate, but only if someone with a good reputation steps up and say that he/she will do it and for how much. Othwewise such a bounty will probably just gather dust.

Is Deadwood going to take it?

Nice initiative but I'd prefer to put money into a port of Blink+V8 to Odyssey to replace WebKit as they work fine on PPC already and have the resources of IBM behind them to keep the branch up to date.

Good point!

I would support any bounty to allow Odyssey to continue working and moving forward, be it with Webkit, or any other engine, but I hope that who ever does the work, it would include ports for MorphOS, AROS, and AmigaOS4.x (even AmigaOS3.x if possible). I would be hesitant to support any bounty that only targeted a single NG AmigaOS, or left any of the 3 NG OSes out of the loop.

I'd agree, if all the Amiga-type users pool what funds we can, collectively that is, to offer as a bounty, as long as the various Amiga systems are offered a final version then surely that's got to be better than only MorphOS contributing to the bounty.

In any case, Odyssey is also the browser for OS4, so naturally they would want it to support OS4, and OS3 only has IBrowse and Netsurf in reality, neither of which offer a 'rich' web-browsing experience thesedays. So to be able to support OS3 users would be a great improvement, the only snag seems to be RAM for most of the legacy/Classic Amiga systems, as OWB really uses up RAM very quickly on some sites, and as the JavaScript core seems to be so 'leaky' you can't get the RAM back unless you quit and restart on most occasions.

Anyway, when I get a some money available, hopefully soon, I'll contribute to a bounty to resolve this issue, if someone sets one up, once we know the workability, and an estimate by someone prepared to take on this task, to bring about the solution to the problem.
