If you're familiar with C in a UNIX context, there's bags of NetSurf you can get your teeth in to without ever touching anything RISC OS or ARM specific - NetSurf is essentially a UNIX application written in C. The RISC OS front end is neatly separated from everything else. Have a dig around and see what you can fiddle with, by all means. Contributions of any kind are always welcome. B.
