And even if you do have said experience, it probably isn't a five-minute
thing to pick up (at least to the level required to fix the Core Treeview
problems). You might want to add to the requirements some familiarity with
OSLib and of writing Wimp applications without the help of the toolbox, too.
That said: if anyone is reading this with the necessary experience, and
wants to help, I'll try and share what little knowledge I've accumulated of
the RISC OS frontend over the past few months. I'm not offering to teach C,
OSLib or the use of the Wimp to anyone, however. :-)
I've put up a list (which is almost certainly incomplete) of things still to
do to make the RISC OS front-end compatible with the Core Treeview branch on
the development Wiki, at
http://wiki.netsurf-browser.org/Todo/RISC_OS_frontend
If anyone can help, get in touch via the netsurf-dev mailing list. That way
we can make sure that we don't end up doing the same things twice, and I can
also try and explain how I envisaged the remaining bits slotting together
(although better ideas would be welcomed :-).
