Non-EWW browsers

[kennethbruskiewicz]

I noticed that org-board tries to use the system browser if 'eww is not used as the default.

Could this option be expanded so other emacs-based browsers could be used, like w3m?

Yes, it should be possible to do this by adapting the expression that calculates the value of org-board-default-browser.

Is there a reason not to pass in a browse function directly?

Sure @kennethbruskiewicz, you should be able to use any browse function as the value of org-board-default-browser. Unfortunately, though, its :type is a bit limited at the moment, so you may need to set the variable directly with something like: (setq org-board-default-browser (quote w3m)) in your Emacs init file.
