Hi Christopher, Well, I'm not a Netsurf developer (yet!) but I just wanted to say it's great that you're thinking of helping out with the RISC OS side of it. Myself and Steve Fryatt have both also expressed an interested on this list, so that's three of us now! I think I come bottom of the pile in terms of up-to-date experience with C and experience programming for RISC OS, but nevertheless I've now managed to get myself set up so I can keep my source tree up to date with SVN and compile at will. Now I'm beginning to look through the RISC OS side of the source code and trying to get a general feel for how things work. It's going to be a long haul though, I think! It sounds like you've definitely got a head start in that respect, given that you've already made some mods to Netsurf, so that's great. JMB gave quite a lot of detail about what the current state of play is on this list a week or so back (digest volume 39, issue 16) - don't know if you spotted that or not? Anyway, it's not my place to welcome you on board, as I'm barely on board myself, but I'm going to anyway!

I have made changes to the RISC OS GUI code that I have never tried to submit. These changes keep rolling over from one SVN update to the next. For example, I prevent NetSurf from passing left/right keypresses on because moving the cursor in (say) the address bar would cause PCITV to change channels. Small stuff, but it does indicate that I am quite familiar with C and the WIMP. My primary shortcoming as an assistant would be in the amount of time I can commit. So just how much work do you estimate will be required to align the WIMP development with the core? And do you already have plenty of offers from others with much time to spare? -- Regards, Christopher Martin.
