Well, I think that this type of behavior is somewhat contrary to the opensource 
development model? I mean, in order to give feedback, yo uhave to know what the 
developers are doing. So you are saying that you are on some kind of Links-dev 
list, and they don't talk about what they are doing? I am in fact looking 
forward to the next release of Links, hoping that the problems I have been 
seeiing have been somewhat fixed. I have checked out their TODO, and not even 
that is very descriptive. By the looks of it, it seems that they are no longer 
working on enhancing their javascript support? I would try and see what I could 
do if I knew anything really about Javascript, which I don't. Hmmmmm. Come ot 
think of it, wouldn't a console interface to Mazilla be more than adaquate? I 
am saying this because the Javascript/all other support is there, the interface 
is just graphical. I am thinking that perhaps this is worth looking into? 
Because esentially, what I think the Links people are trying to do is make 
their own browser with Javascript support, plugins, etc. Mazilla already has 
this. I could be wrong about this, because I have no idea where they are 
getting their code from.
