Hi all. I tried Dillo and I like it very much. I'd like to help it become better, so can anyone pint me out to some thing I can start to work? It would be yet hard for me to organize and decide where and how to start. So, if anyone have some thing specific to assign, I will be glad to help. Best regards, Drasko -- Drasko Draskovic MSc Student in Computer Sciencies School of Electrical Engeneering University of Belgrade

Excellent. It's always good to have new developers. Welcome aboard! Please let me know about your experience, strong areas of development and interest spots to pick a good start task for you. We have plenty of things to chose from! -- Cheers Jorge.-
Hi, I hope everyone will excuse me for posting in the same thread but it kind of seemed appropiate given the subject. I've also been playing around with dillo and I met Jorge and Sebastian at FOSDEM this year. Been lurking on the list for a while since I've got lots going on and didn't really have time. But as soon as I turn in my last exam this month I'd be happy to help out here or there. I was thinking about doing some simple kind of plugin to get started (are there any you want to work on?), but I'm fascinated with parsers and how they work, though I might not be very good at writing them, I'd be interested in working on that later on. Unfortunately my C skills aren't very good but I've got the basics and I also know lots of java (pretty useless here I guess :), some C++, and have experience scripting in shells and python. cheers, Wim

OK. I think the easiest one is BUG#343 (parser related). On the side of dpis, I think a man-page-to-html filter can be interesting. This is something that lets you view man pages as html in the browser. It can be evolved to also handle "info" files and then become a good help browser, making an easy&quick interface to local information (in the harddisk). These days, GNU/Linux, BSD*, etc. distributions come with lots if information in different formats that is seldom used. This is man pages, info files, html files etc. if a dillo dpi can provide for an easy interface for accesing it, I think it would be very handy. Think of a single text entry that searches in the local HD for information ao a keyword[s] providing some local links as answer.

Well, I meant something more specific about expertise. For instance: libc, pthreads, sockets, network programming, parsing, RFC implementations, protocols, widgets sets (as GTK/FLTK/Dw), non blocking IO, distributed programming, daemons, QA, testing, etc. :-) As with Wim, an easy one is BUG#343. On the cookies field, you can investigate/test BUG#364 and/or BUG#370 (got to coordinate with Diego S.). Another good one to start is BUG#674. A quick solution is trivial, but a good one requires a bit more of thinking and investigation to choose a good "cutting threshold" for the protection scheme. HTH. -- Cheers Jorge.-
