I suggest you subscribe to http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-chromium, and make make your intentions known about what you can do to assist in getting a more current version of Chromium tested, built and updated in ports. Porting a browser as complex as Chromium is a lot of work, takes a lot of time, and requires a lot of attention to detail. A small group of us has been assisting Rene for a while now, and we have decided it is now time to grow a FreeBSD Chromium Community. Within this community we are hoping to find testers, coders, helpers, coders, people with a general interest in Chromium, and did I mention coders? So please subscribe, make your inquiries, and as people come on board, we will be able to do more to spread the word about Chromium for FreeBSD.
