re all,

First thanks for the interesting  thread[1]. i didn't knew Iron before
and now investigating  it with interest.

At  dyne.org  we  are  actively  developing  a  VM  that  also  parses
javascript code  FreeJ[2] (but still using spidermonkey)  while one of
us is the Debian package mantainer of libV8[2]

Obviously we are really  interested in following Chromium developments
and affine paths.

IMHO this "integration" argument is not really relevant.

it  can be observed  that integration  is mostly  leading to  bloat if
compared to  interoperability approaches that  keep more possibilities
open  and yet  replicate less  code.  It's  an old  *NIX adagio  in SW
design and an actual frustration with systems as GNOME or KDE.

for  a more  extensive illustration  of this  argument on  this Chrom*
topic, a recent commentary written by my friend Merc sheds some light

http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/columns/google_chrome_os_or_how_kde_and_gnome_managed_shoot_each_other_dead

at last, in case anyone has  good pointers on how to write plugins for
Chromium, we'd be  really interested in studying how  to port FreeJ to
it and gladly accept any contribution in that direction.

warm greetings  to all  of you  freedom angels and  best wishes  for a
happy and productive new year, whatever calendar you're following :)
