I usually put the work in progress builds as http://revolf.free.fr/beos/netsurf-bone.zip for now. > For the documentation, I'd like to make the user guide more multi > platform, but it will probably take me a long time.

You can try the pre-alpha Haiku image in qemu/vmware: http://www.haiku-os.org/downloads As for the doc under BeOS, the convention is to use html anyway. > It would be good to get the platform specific installation > instructions > and details platform specific issues for all platforms in similar > documents.

Currently it must be unzipped to /boot and I should probably add a symlink to avoid making one manually in ~/config/be/Applications I suppose. > Finally, I'd like to update the About NetSurf section to make it > clear > NetSurf runs on all sorts of platforms and systems.

If you come on #haiku and ask I'm sure someone with an eeePC can make you a photo of it running NS in Haiku :) > Also, I want to update the NetSurf team page: > > http://www.netsurf-browser.org/about/team > > Please could the Chris, François and Vincent give me a couple of > paragraphs, like the ones already there, about which bit of NetSurf > you > work on, what system you use, etc. :) What about: François is a BeOS fan and Haiku developer, and started porting NetSurf to BeOS to fill the void between Links and Firefox, and replace the closed-source NetPositive as default browser in Haiku. He's always rushing to fix C89 breakages since BeOS binaries must be built using gcc 2.95 because of C++ ABI compatibility. Currently building under ZETA (BeOS R6), and testing also under Haiku both on real hardware and in QEMU. François.
