- Brief description and general target of the Bounty:

Webkit Javascript Engine for PPC has a great number of endianess issues, so we need a skilled developer (or a joint team of developers) to perform a hunt search&destroy party of all issues by finding it one by one.

It is a tedious job to do, so it needs to be properly rewarded by a reasonable amount of money, hence the creation of this bounty.

If we Amigans want next release of Odyseey Web Browser being usable with all sites featuring new versions of Javascript, we need:

1. Skilled developers to get this task assigned. Are you there?

We need also...

2. Money to keep alive our platform, so donate, donate, donate!

- Here follows technical description taken from aros-exec.org site:

2/2`of application related bounties proposal:

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.

The leopard-webkit project: https://sourceforge.net/projects/leopard-webkit/files/600/Sources/

Validation:

• The non-JIT JavaScript engine for a selected Big Endian system (AmigaOS 3.x, AROS 68k, MorphOS or AmigaOS 4) works
  up to same level as non-JIT JavaScript version for x86 processors.
• Execution speed is not part of comparison
• The changes are made in a way allowing easy re-basing with newer versions of WebKit
• Changes need to be integrated to https://github.com/deadwood-pl/OdysseyWebBrowser and released with license
  compatible with Odyssey
• A binary of Odyssey for a selected Big Endian system is delivered to general usage
