Whether that's true or not, they have work to do elsewhere on NetSurf and may not even have the required knowledge of RISC OS to do anything with the frontend code. John-Mark for example has spent a considerable amount of time recently completely rewriting the CSS parser etc. At the moment what we need is somebody who does know WIMP and can devote time to the frontend. Because functionality is being moved to the core, most of what needs doing is deleting and replacing existing code with function calls to the core. The treeview stuff in the frontend will need a rewrite (but, again, will end up much simpler than it is currently) Chris
