 Far beyond most of us, I'm afraid.

That may be true, but I've asked groups of RISC OS users to take on some of
the more paper shuffling tasks that I've been doing for the platform over
the last six months, to free up the time that I required for looking at
NetSurf.  They were things that could be done with a copy of Ovation Pro and
a grasp of the English langauge[1], but even these requests for help were
met with total silence.


1. For the avoidance of any possible doubt, these tasks were *not* Archive's
PD Column or the editing of the Wakefield Club newsletter.


What task are they? Perhaps some on this group are capable and willing
to take them on.

I might be able to help with at least some of this. Please let me know 
off-list (address is valid) what sort of things need doing.

With best wishes,

Peter.

I have Ovation Pro, have a reasonable grasp of the English language and
would be willing to help if it enables an ongoing RISC OS presence at
Netsurf.

I see that you have two other volunteers here; Peter, James and I
probably  a constitute a group of RISC OS users so let us know what is
needed.
