Some News

by Jorge Arellano Cid

Hi there, We've advanced a lot towards a release of Dillo. So expect good news soon! What currently worries us most is the lack of developers. Manpower to help the project. With Sebastian we have little spare time and would appreciate some help. From patches, patch review, bug fixing, web site maintaining, documentation, packaging, etc. -- Cheers Jorge.-

Unless someone else is prepared to write one from scratch, the main alternatives are hv3 and some of the cut-down gecko-based browsers (kazehakase and flock spring to mind). The flock code is all under the MPL or GPL, so that may be a good starting point, since the flock additions are fairly neatly layered. I'd be delighted to learn of any other approaches as well.... ___________________________________________________________ Copy addresses and emails from any email account to Yahoo!

I'm still one of the two main developers of dillo, but unfortunately, the project is currently stalled, since Jorge and I do not have the time, which is necessary to keep dillo running, due to a full-time job. ("Stalled" means not "cancelled".) Sebastian After this email and send other email speaking about the dillo FTLK source code and asking to he release it, but don't get reply until now. I hope Jorge and Sebastian release the source code soon. > Diego Alan

by Diego .

Hello, I have code a (dull, silly, ...) web page to upload my unfinished dillo code. I tend to start too much things and i finish very few of them. I will upload finished code too. At this moment there are a unfinished tabs dpi and two finished patches that together alow to wrote DilloPlugIns for protocols without touching dillo code. I will try to upload a unfinished preferences DPI and to code patches to allow DPIs to manage mime types and scripting, but i have few time. Please give your opinions on the page and the code. Do not worry to ask any doubt. I need some help about the english part to so do not doubt to blame my english and tell my errors. Like this is not the topic of the list send language errors directly to me. The page is http://personales.ya.com/darkspirit/ Any news from Sebastian? Diego

So, I assume that Jorge has not been able to get Sebastian to respond to his calls? It looks like Dillo is on its way to becoming history....what a sad way to end....
