Re: Netsurf Programming

Hi Larry!

Disclaimer - I'm not an official Netsurf developer.

Welcome to the community.

In case you haven't already, I think joining #netsurf on Freenode IRC is a good way to get in touch with the devs actively.

You should check out http://www.netsurf-browser.org/developers/

And there's always the bug tracker : http://bugs.netsurf-browser.org/mantis/my_view_page.php

In case you feel it's a bit quiet, don't be disheartened : ) Patience is key.

Happy hacking!

Hello,

I would like to become involved in the netsurf project. Over my 30 years as a developer, I've focused largely on Xlib programming and making things lean and fast. Most recently I've been developing windows software for the agriculture industry. 

I've just recently gotten back to my true passion, unix development, and I found your browser project as I was looking for packages to add to a distro I'm trying to build based on opensuse and I was intrigued.  Your description of the software is very much what I believe in so it's a good match I think.

I see you are working on a windows version that I would be happy to contribute to or anything else you might need help with.

I'm very much into the free/opensource thing, but my present company offering is a commercial product (a guy's gotta eat...)

(ps My first thought about netsurf was to get in onto a raspi, but maybe you've already done that, I love those little powerhouses)

Let me know,

Larry Hatfield
