The B2G project will include prototype APIs for exposing  device and OS capabilities to web content, a privilege model to safely  expose these new capabilities, a complete &quot;low-level substrate&quot; for  Android-compatible devices and a collection of web apps to prioritise  and prove the power of the platform.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Benefits to Webian<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The potential benefits for Webian are enormous. Webian Shell was  already hitting limitations of what is currently possible with Mozilla  Chromeless and this new work on the core Mozilla platform promises to  make many more of Webian&#39;s goals possible. While B2G initially focuses  on the mobile space, Webian can focus on nettop and netbook form factors  and perhaps eventually the two projects could even converge.<\/p>\n<p>Sponsorship from Krellian will provide the ongoing resources  necessary for running the Webian project and ensure that it remains free  and open source.<\/p>\n<p>I&#39;m excited about this new chapter in Webian&#39;s story and believe more strongly than ever in the future of the open web.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reposted from webian.org Firstly, thanks for the incredible continued contributions from the Webian community and for all the work you&#39;ve done on Webian Shell, which has now had more than 95,000 downloads!
