Hi!

I'm willing to.
I'm sure I'll need some help, but I could start and then post my
doubts.
Or maybe, after doing some research I could post a couple ideas and
then continue working after some feedback and so on.
What I was thinking about is just to process html, javascript,
vbscript, ...
Things like flash, silverlight and so are out of question, for now.
The other problem I was thinking how to solve is related to images...
that's really something, mostly because I would like the browser to be
available for older models (not only the IIgs).
However, I didn't even try it. So, I think I'll start right now and
let you know how it goes in a short time...
