Hello,
I'm not a great programmer, but I'm looking to help the Dillo project. It's a nifty browser, and I'm hoping that by working on it it'll help me learn more about programming languages / toolkits like C and FLTK. I'd also rather not see the project die like this.
Excellent! Thank you for commiting to help. We need as much as we can get. First you have to subscribe to dillo-dev (our mailing list). Then, I see a great way for you to help. Recently in the updates I'm going to make public as cvs ASAP, in the /doc directory inside dillo's tree I wrote: <quote> This documents need a review. They were current with dillo1 and now, with dillo2, most of them are obsolete, specially Dw*txt, but Dw2 is fully documented in html using doxygen. The other documents will be reviewed when I have some time. They will give you an overview of what's going on but take them with a pinch of salt. Of course I'd like to have these as doxygen files too! If somebody wants to make this convertion, please let me know to assign higher priority to updating these docs. </quote> So I'd be very happy if you start here. Making the framework for doxygen-type of documentation inside dillo. This will also let you get started knowing the internals of the code, and from then to patching. This is a very important task as it helps all the developers. Sebastian made excellent doxygen documentation in the Dw2 tree. So you can borrow some ideas from there. We need this quick as it can only help all of us. As you advance I can work with you providing more comments in the code and text when needed. For instance Dlib seems a good place to start. Please let me know if you take this duty. Welcome aboard! -- Cheers Jorge.-
