Hi Kevin,

I haven't looked at your websites, my bad,
but let me just say for now that we could always use an extra hand
in taking the next step, as it will probably be a fairly large step.
Adam is somewhat pessimistic about dom functionality in a startup js script,
I am more optimistic about it, or I might say, hopeful / wishful,
since it is so much easier to implement and maintain and understand there,
rather than the C world with its engine specific code etc.
But wishful is not always right, is it.

Even if startwindow.js is temporary, it sure has brought us a lot of
functionality for not a lot of code,
to help us see the path ahead, maybe like a prototype.
If 100 lines of that has to be native code, it probably becomes 600 lines of C.
That's the currency exchange rate.
But if that's where it belongs then so be it.

Another dimension is html parsing and the building of a corresponding tree of 
node objects
and corresponding js objects.
Chris is looking into tidy5 to help us do that, rather than my home grown 
parser.
Things usually get better when we move away from my home grown code.     :)

Then there is the use of alternate js engines, besides Mozilla 24,
which works but is a bit clunky.
Adam is looking into this.

I think we all have a lot of other stuff going on in life,
which has slowed us down a bit of late.
Now if I could just clone myself...
