Hi Kirk,
you might be surprised who is waiting for this pro project.
I hear about it from banks for example, and companies who presently use
elinks as a way to test for access, but know your text based but java
friendly option is in development.
may I ask why it is such a challenge getting this ready for prime time as
you say? I am not a software developer, my skills are elsewhere.
Is it money the project needs, and if so how much?

Hello Larry et al: There is another list that most of the discussion
takes place on which is the wb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx list and can be
subscribed to with wb-subscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. There has not been
any discussion of note for quite a while however.
The latest branch is named new though so after cloning the repository
you might wish to checkout new to try it. It is a bit more stable or
reliable or whatever than the master branch. There is some small
amount of documentation in the docs subdirectory.
We don't consider clifox really ready for prime-time and so there
isn't really any user documentation. You are welcome to write it
however if this lack bothers you. The clifox.conf file is the list of
keystrokes currently available. Any contributions people wish to
provide are happily accepted.
I don't know if one would consider this project in active development
or not. I certainly use it on a daily basis but I may be the only
one. Brandon has written most of the code but he tends to be stretched
between many varying projects. I contribute chunks here and there but
I slowly poke at both clifox and wb. We could certainly use more
contributers but a lot of folks use orca and gnome and therefore don't
really care about text based solutions.

Wow, `many months ago, last I heard, clifox had hit a snag, however, to my
surprise, while talking with Bill Acker on Monday evening, he was
successfully useing it. So I tried installing. And yes, I saw the warnings
about saved settings. Sure enough my settings which were running iceweasel
and xvfb-run to listen to audio-and-video streams, are now broken.
Meanwhile I saw no instructions in how to install or use clifox. First I
figured those python scripts installed firefox over iceweasel, which
replaced it in Debian. And yes, I did try an
apt-get install clifox
but it never found anything.
Since it looks as if clifox has advanced-and-there has been no discussion
here, are their other lists where clifox is atively in discussion?I
certainly mention it here as similar folks are involved in both projects.
Thanks so much in advance for tips-and-trix
Hart
