I would be interested in finding out more, if you're struggling to find anyone to take on the RISC OS front-end. I use NetSurf a lot, and it would be a pity if its support for RISC OS were to reduce. My main worry -- which has stopped my getting involved before -- is lack of time: due to my other commitments, there are likely to be some (possibly longish) periods when I can't spend any time on NetSurf. I have some experience of the RISC OS wimp (and other aspects of the system), although none of developing as part of a team. My main language (on RISC OS) these days is C, using OSLib and compiling on GCC. -- Steve Fryatt - Leeds, England http://www.stevefryatt.org.uk/
