Hi Randolph,

Unfortunately my first response is NO.

The development might be for fun, but I didn't see a persuasive 
reason of why we need one browser in a office suite. IMHO, in that case
we seem not to improve foreseeable usability, functionality or productivity 
to the suite, will we?

Instead, in an other way, I'd rather to put such an effort in improving 
Libreoffice by put it into a browser, while obviously it is another thing to 
discuss.

Best wishes,
Yifan

Dear all,
after some talks with some board members, the request rised to include more members and developers 
in the idea of adding a browser to Libreoffice.
We know this needs time and work, but would not be impossible to add it to the installer and create 
a place to be for it, and see, how the community reacts to it and requests more interaction. This 
security orientated webkit browser would be a good codebasis for that: 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/dooble/
 Any pro or cons from anyone? No person in the office works today without the internet, the 
consequence is, an office suite needs or could provide an open source browser. Anyone interested to 
test or join the idea or recommendations for the steps to plan?
 Regards Randolph
