I've resolved all dependencies and followed directions but I simply can't
build it. That was another reason I assumed it had been abandoned...

Updating Libhubbub
by Rupinder Singh
Hi all,
As part of the Google Summer of Code'14 program, I worked on updating the
Libhubbub library to bring it in line with HTML5 specifications. No one was
able for code review at that time , so the work was not merged. I would be
glad if someone is able to review the work now.
Related branch:
http://git.netsurf-browser.org/libhubbub.git/log/?h=rupindersingh/libhubbub
Reference for specifications:
https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/syntax.html
Wiki: http://wiki.netsurf-browser.org/LibHubbub
The wiki page might be a bit vague, but you will begin to understand it
after you have complete understanding of where libhubbub is lagging behind
the current specs. Apart from that, I apologise for the weird commit names.
I will rename those as and when my exams are over and have enough time at
my disposal.
I will be available on IRC if you have any suggestions and/or code review
to give.I hope we can get this merged soon, and make Netsurf even better !
Best Regards,
Rupinder Singh Khokhar

Netsurf Programming
by Larry Hatfield
Hello,
I would like to become involved in the netsurf project. Over my 30 years as
a developer, I've focused largely on Xlib programming and making things
lean and fast. Most recently I've been developing windows software for the
agriculture industry.
I've just recently gotten back to my true passion, unix development, and I
found your browser project as I was looking for packages to add to a distro
I'm trying to build based on opensuse and I was intrigued. Your
description of the software is very much what I believe in so it's a good
match I think.
I see you are working on a windows version that I would be happy to
contribute to or anything else you might need help with.
I'm very much into the free/opensource thing, but my present company
offering is a commercial product (a guy's gotta eat...)
(ps My first thought about netsurf was to get in onto a raspi, but maybe
you've already done that, I love those little powerhouses)
Let me know,
Larry Hatfield
