I'm completely incompetent myself as a developer, but I can add New-Dillo
into a thin client distro (thinstation.sf.net). That will make some
exposure to the project.
In my biased opinion Thinstation is among the top two Open Source thin
client OSs.
Any idea if Frank and Indan will settle for this? That's a beginning at least.
The market for thin client browsers at present is filled by Netscape
4.7x...
