Thanks for your offer, and welcome to the xmlroff-list and xmlroff.

Your offer is gratefully accepted.  Have you ever known an open-source
project that did not accept help?

For xmlroff, you don't need to read up on GNOME, just on GLib and
GObject.  xmlroff doesn't have a GUI, so it doesn't extend to the
level of needing GNOME libraries.  AFAIK, Dave Malcolm's Conglomerate
is the only project to moot a GUI for xmlroff.

As to where to help, the field is wide open.  The next things that I
will be working on are recognising X colour names, getting graphics to
work again, and region-before and region-after.

I actually have this weekend off just to work on xmlroff.  I now have
to wonder whether I should work on code or documentation.

Regards,


Tony.
