Emacs/W3 needs DEVELOPERS...

The following message is a courtesy copy of an article that has been posted to comp.emacs.xemacs,comp.emacs,alt.religion.emacs as well. This is my semi-annual plea for help maintaining Emacs/W3, the web browser and URL library for Emacs. I have not had the time for quite a while to work on it, and need people who can take on bits and pieces that can then be glued into a full blown web browser, or reused by Gnus for its web-based backends, etc. For details, please see: http://www.gnu.org/software/w3/ http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/w3/ http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/url/ A short list of projects needing a maintainer: - XML parser implementation - HTML parser rewrite (PSGML?) - DOM implementation sitting on top of XML & HTML parsers - CSS level 2 stylesheet parser - Rendering engine (would just work off of a DOM tree and CSS2 stylesheet). There is room for more than one - a lightweight one that would be really fast for Gnus & VM to use, and perhaps a `real' one for use as an honest-to-god browser. Each of these is a fairly manageable task, but all of them is just too large for one person to keep doing. -bp -- Ceterum censeo vi esse delendam
