Hello,
Hi.
I became interested in Dillo a while back and even made some small contributions and helped fix some bugs, but I was eventually disuaded by the fact that Dillo uses GTK+. I was happy when I heard that Dillo would be ported to FLTK. Has there been any progress on this? I would like to start contributing again, but I have not seen anything other than a few mailing list posts in the archive and a mention of it on the "Current Plans" page.
The port to FLTK is advancing. Slowly, but advancing.
The main problem is lack of funds -> lack of time.
I can not help with funds, but i can adduce a part of mi time.
Good!

The source tree is still not ready for CVS, and I hope that day to come. If we can't find a way to fund the project I'll have no other option than to leave the project.
I want to help, with my limited coding skills, to get the code ready for CVS. How can i do that?
At this point, it is mainly deeply complex matters in Dillo Widget (dw) and FLTK2 interaction, that are in development process (and after that, their related bindings) is what keeps Dillo from CVS. One thing that's independent and that you can help us with is with a preferences file parser. At some point we'll get rid of glib so the parser needs a rewrite. A very simple parser, not as complex as the current. This is roughly: variable=<string-value> pairs and e.g. url=http://foo.bar/here title="Hi there" // Double quoted font_factor=1.2 // let conversion later #<comments> with some spelling error checking. Another one is to replace the g_string_* functions, but I have some code for that. Just need to search my harddisk! ;) -- Cheers Jorge.-
