Subject: [9fans] The "i" browser

I did a port of the inferno browser (charon) to
plan 9, and called it "i".  Unfortunately, other
obligations have prevented me from getting all
of the bugs out.

Does anyone out there want to take up the guantlet
and finish the job?  I put the sources in
the public source tree, under contrib/i , and
would be happy to correspond with, and lightly
collaborate with, anyone willing to solidify the port.

The current state is that it often works, but
there is some kind of bug in the table layout code
(and doubtless, other bugs).  And perhaps the biggest
problem, for a modern browser, is that it doesn't
do javascript at all.  The port was done before
Javascript support got added to charon.
