nglayout project
getting involved
When you get involved, you become a part of the NGLayout team. Together, we'll produce a layout engine
that will render billions of Web pages for millions of eyeballs - this is your
chance to make a real positive difference! This is an open source project, so actions
speak much louder than words. Everyone can get involved, even if you don't write code. A
few suggested ways to help are outlined below, but by all means feel free to contribute in whatever way
you feel is best. Thanks in advance,
- The NGLayout Team, <mozilla-layout@mozilla.org>

NOTE: This list is always a bit out of date. Your best bet is to monitor the "layout" newsgroup
and mailing list - visit the community page
for info on how to get access.
- Fix a bug - check out this list, and help out however you
can.
- Tons of bite sized projects are listed on the "DOM Projects" page and represent
a terrific way to get started.
- Attention JavaScript hackers! We're looking for DOM test cases and demos. Check out the DOM spec, our test cases, and
let us know if you can help.
- We need some classes to do postscript output. Got em?
- It would be nice to use XIF (our I/O format) to save Web pages in other file formats, such as RTF or
DOC. Send a note to kostello if you can help "Save" the
Web :-)
- More XP Widgets! We already have some widgets, but we need more to build real user interfaces. Send
a note to Kevin to contribute some code in this area.
- Testing help - publish test suites for HTML 4.0 and the Document Object Model, and be sure to
let us know if you have some good tests.
- Help Adam Lock wire up his cool IE compatibility wrapper to the
existing NGLayout interfaces.
- Wrap up the RDF BE with XPCOM interfaces - send mail to waterson if you can help.

troy and vidur if you can help.
