Quiris wrote about Acid Test 2 designed to test CSS implementations in web browsers. Of course Internet Explorer failed to do anything with that test, but also so-called NG (Next Generation) browser don’t pass it.
There is comparsion of several browser results and I want to add my results from Linux here.

• Firefox 1.0.x
• Firefox 1.1 nightly
• Opera 8.0 beta 3
• Konqueror 3.4

I’m pretty sad to see that none of those browser is even near to proper result. A good things are that both, Opera and Firefox works better in their beta versions and we have a bug for this test.

I have some projects on my dashboard and I have a problem to sort the queue. I’m working on a new version of www.sports.pl. It will be onet-like, XHTML 1.0 Strict ready, fast, and should be a big improvement comparing to current layout mess with all those ads and stuff that should never land in those places.
Second thing is AviaryPL website. The sad thing is that Marcoos made a lot of work to create a layout that could be used there, and when he finished it, somebody sent me his proposition which – I must say – is great. I feel like a bastard, because of it…
I’m also working on final bits of Thunderbird 1.1 and my last patches for Firefox 1.1. In a week or two my work will be done.
I’m also still trying to get back to my work on soccer game, but still the blocker is a Yake engine which is not yet fully ported to Linux.
About my Ivor project. It’s in suspended mode for a nearest future. It’s mostly ready for 0.1 release, but I need to have time after release to deal with a feedback. At the moment, AviaryPL is on a top of the list, and I hope to have it ready very soon.

I’m also in transition from Slackware to Gentoo. Slackware is still my primary distribution for server.

Oh, and once I started writing something…
I’m wondering if I should bring back old skin. I really like that one, but the new one (a’ka default theme) has extremly high level of usability.
And the language issue. As I previously mentioned, I’m somehwere in the middle of preparing (with Antymon) the new project. It will be a nice place for many well-known people from IT community in Poland to write some articles. No short forms, no flame, NPOV mode on, and we do hope to be more open to not-opensource people.
In result I will have a place to write in Polish, which is my native language, so here I will focus on writing in english, because there are people who want to read it. I know, my english is not perfect, but it wins with every Polish-English online translator.

We’re closer, and closer to new site for AviaryPL. I’m very happy about that. I belive that it will be the last position in our plan to have high quality infrastructure in my team. We have emails, svn, bugzilla, ftp, we and once we’ll have a project page we will be ready to claim new market of commercial, and semi commercial support for Mozilla products in Poland.

Ok. That’s it for now 🙂

This blog will be back online during this week. I have some problems with old content, and I want to push it back before starting new posts.

Beside, I’m working on two new projects, one of them is something like kuro5hin for polish users, second is a web browser. I can’t say more about those…
