[Bf-funboard] Integrated Blender Web Browser Proposal

[Justin Pease]

Hmm.   My first reaction is that it is just extra baggage.  Having a built in browser could 
slightly reduce the screen space needed to view docs / tuts, compared to just resizing 
blender and a web browser next to it.  That is the only benefit I see.  In exchange for that 
benefit it would "cost" us added code to develop and maintain which has absolutely no 
direct 3D / Animation use.  For "Help" I would also suggest just popping open the default 
browser, like many other apps do.

I would rather Blender developers stay focused on 3D & Animation tools.  For a browser 
I have plenty of choices (I prefer Firebird), most of which will have better development 
and support than Blender would be able to offer.  

And as far as screen real estate, to me a far better solution would be to just cough up 
like $25 and buy a used 15" monitor at a pawn shop and a cheap PCI video card and 
use the second monitor for your browser window.
