Over the years, he has contributed to a number of areas of NetSurf -- particularly anything that doesn't involve touching any user interface code. He has also spent a great deal of time tracking down and fixing Richard's bugs. In the past, most of his development work was undertaken on an Iyonix, using a Linux desktop running Debian for compilation purposes. Nowadays, development occurs on the Linux desktop using RPCemu for testing purposes. Strictly, the DOM stuff is "just started", I guess. The vast majority of DOM3 Core is there, at least. I'm dubious as to whether selectors can be considered complete if the pseudo stuff isn't supported. Typo: s/stated/started/ -- Find text (nsgtk) I don't particularly see the value in duplicating things for both RO and GTK when the feature in question is complete. I think I'd also be inclined to s/nsgtk/GTK/g. The last sentence of the JS section seems strange in the context of the description of our current state. I think we can safely lose it, or reword it such that it doesn't appear as if we're expecting someone to come along and implement DOM 0-3, the JS bindings and heavily modify the layout engine to cope with dynamic content. I've currently no suggestions here. Perhaps we can look at how other OSS projects have tackled this problem (e.g. Gnome or Firefox) I started some of this some time ago. It was never finished, however. That said, it's basically the same as the instructions for targetting GTK -- you "just" have to build the dependencies yourself with gccsdk. Looks cool. Nice work! J.
