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. -- Steve Fryatt - Leeds, England http://www.stevefryatt.org.uk/

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.

Golly, I'll take on that job! Didn't realise there was a total lack of interest. If there's anything that's beyond me I'll just have to call out for help ;-) -- James K White

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.
