Hello, the eric 'help browser' is a full fledged web browser. Why write another one? How about extracting it and make it a standalone browser? I already thought about that but haven't found the time yet. eric keeps me busy. A standalone browser could be called 'Troll Web' (Troll for former Trolltech, Web for web browser). I could create a Mercurial repository for that on my server over here.
If you want to go with your own browser and want to take code from the eric web browser, you may do so as long as you mark it with a proper copyright statement and your project is published under GPLv3. If you find and fix issues in my code I would be happy to receive the fix for inclusion in eric.
