[Dillo-dev] Planning

[Jorge Arellano Cid]

Hi,

  Here  are  some  pending  issues which I've partially sorted by
priority (at least the top half). Please add the missing ones and
let's try to finish sorting it, with a view to planify our work.


 * Make DIV-based pages render correctly.
   This  is  the  most  visible  rendering  fault  in  Dillo. The
textblock  doesn't  have  a  way  to handle it (not implemented).
IIRC I'm willing to dig into it and Johannes will help.
   e.g. http://www.advogato.org/faq.html

 * Add blocker (this also has to do with privacy).
   A  full  RE-based  one  may  have  significant  overhead (test
required),  but  simple string-matching may do most of the trick.
I've  also  thought  for  a  long  time  that  a "don't load from
other  sites"  preference  may  help a lot. The whole topic needs
some thought but it's not hard to implement.
   e.g. doubleclick.

 * Handle negative values in CSS. e.g. wikipedia.

 * What will we do with xhtml? To render or not to render...
FF doesn't validate. BUG#732
   One  solution  is  to add a notification widget area below the
control  panel that hides/unhides as the find bar, to warn when a
xhtml  file  has  detected  bugs (we'd also move the meta refresh
warning  to  display  here). I already have a simple patch to add
xhtml  rendering.  The  widget implemetation is the missing part.
It should be much simpler than the close button in each tab. :-)
   e.g. http://planet.postgresql.org/

 * Jump to #anchor doesn't work correctly.
  It  looks  like  a  timing issue, but the idle-call API needs a
review as a whole.

 * dpi for "view page source" (it re-uses search capability).
  This requires a check of the current data-passing inside DPIP.

 * Improve the DPI development/debug framework.

 * https dialog bombing issue. BUG#868
   AKA make https dpi a server (i.e. not a filter dpi).

 *  Render  bug  at http://www.directfb.org/ (and its links). The
table has too wide a first column. Back/Fwd solves it.

 *   handling in fltk.org
   The  relevant  point  is  to define a consistent way to handle
whitespace in the textblock.

 * FTP download doesn't work?!
