Yoou made more than my day with that!
I rejoice for you.

Yes there're.
It is soothing to see your optimism and hopes for Dillo.
Sometimes we think with Sebastian that releasing the code may not
make a difference after all because we currently have no time to
devote, and if people don't develop themselves, there the code
will remain.
I think that a change will happend, but to un-freeze a proyect need a lot of work. I hoppe that other people will help with it. First is to communicate the un-freeze then a delay will happend until people known and other for the people to make changes(patchs).
I remember that a question was made in the list about a GTK2 dillo version so it can be included in the (graphical) debian installer (as a d-i plugin i think) to read the docs. Surely a static linked FLTK version can be very attractive to d-i people.
Don't read us wrong, the decision to open the code is already
made, and BTW, Sebastian did an sterling job of documenting the
internals of Dw, so once it's out there, studying time starts,
and development should follow naturally.
I wish you or somebody else in this list could take care of
patch reviewing, web site updating and that kind of tasks.
Anyone?
I want to take care of patch reviewing with the condition that other person review my patchs. Please give me some orientation or guidelines.
Some details remain, and I hope before September ends, the
fltk2 version of Dillo to be online.
That is a very good news!
