Your friend is very welcome to work on any of the WebbIE and Accessible code, which is all open-source. I can provide to-dos buglists (ahem) and source code for any of the programs. Of course, it's all written in VB6, which is considered very uncool: it does need moving to C# if that would be an interesting task. Drop me a line if that's helpful: alasd...@webbie.org.uk, 07983 244 131
