Great, the RISC OS front end certainly needs someone to work on it;
it's  not had very much attention lately.  To do much with NetSurf,
you'll need to know C.

The best place to start is probably to build NetSurf.  There are
instructions here:

  http://wiki.netsurf-browser.org/Documentation/GettingCoding

You will have to cross-compile to build for RISC OS.
Actually, improving the documentation for cross compiling would be a
helpful thing to start with.

The best place to ask for help is probably here or on IRC (#netsurf on
freenode).

You could look though the bug tracker for RISC OS-specific issues and
feature requests, and see if anything takes your fancy.  Otherwise, I
suggest using NetSurf for a bit and working on whatever aspects you feel
are most lacking, or most interesting.

Cheers,

Michael
