Quite. This has been RISC OS' elephant in the room for the last 5 years or so -- there simply aren't enough active developers to do all the things that need to be done. I don't have a solution to this problem, but do think it's about time people acknowledged that it exists and review their expectations in that light. Returning to NetSurf, we really do appreciate the offers of help that we've received so far and fully understand that real life gets in the way :) John.
