I think something like Arch or Subversion, with an accompanying Wiki for developers and users to converse (and converge) is a good idea.
I'm starting to doubt the whole idea, how nice it may be: Are there any other active patch makers out there except us?
I'm working on JavaScript support for dillo using the SpiderMonkey C-Engine of the Mozilla project: http://www.mozilla.org/js/spidermonkey/
At some point I was thinking (or rather fanatsising :-) ...) about using http://www.bbassett.net/njs/ as a Javascript Interpreter. (That was when I first understood plugins and played with them.)
The patch is not yet stable/clean enough to post it here and it lacks a lot. Currently I try to clean it up and get the focus set on google.
Google uses Javascript ?
I know most people here have low-end machines and there is probably no interest in JavaScript support in the main branch.
IMHO it could be useful to have an extremely light implementation. Only the OnClick, OnSUbmit things. I read on the specs etc., understood only a portion and probably remember only a tiny fraction now :-). But I remember, that it may make sense to only implement a handful of Javascriopt things (as you see, I even forgot the terminology), It may still be compaitible with dillo's design goals. I was mainly thinking of the sites that use Javascript to pop up new windows on clicking some links - which could just as easily be implemented in HTML. I.e. the ones that don't know the difference between Javascript and HTML. Also, the OnSUbmit thing seems to be useful for checking form values before submissions. However, all in all, I use dillo because it does NOT support Javascript and let the browser invade my desktop :-) Cheers, Andreas -- **************************** NEW ADDRESS ****************************** Hamburger Sternwarte Universitaet Hamburg Gojenbergsweg 112 Tel. ++49 40 42891 4016 D-21029 Hamburg, Germany Fax. ++49 40 42891 4198
