[libavg-users] Browser Integration

[Ulrich von Zadow]

Hi,

this is great news :-).

I can't do the work myself - no time. On the other hand, we are  
definitely interested in html rendering support as well, so whoever  
does this will get lots of support time from me.

Also, have a look at http://www.ubrowser.com/ if you're looking for  
implementation ideas.

Cheers,

   Uli
