yahoo mail beta and konqueror

[David Joham]

Pete,

I'd probably be willing to perform some tests of Konqueror for you. Do you have a test suite or
test plan that I could follow? How much assistance and response from your team could I expect
if/when I report bugs or have questions? How is the code currently branched? Do you have a code
path for W3C/DOM compliant browsers that are not ones you may expect or do you do lots of specific
browser checks that will only catch IE and Firefox? If the former is the case, we should be in
good shape. If the latter is the case, we've got our work cut out for us...

I've done a fair amount of complex Konqueror testing before (I still have nightmares about
HierMenus) and others consider me a fairly competent web developer so I think I have the skills
your team is looking for.

I also have a vested interest in getting this to work as I use Yahoo mail through Konqueror as my
primary Email platform :)

If you're interested in my assistance, please contact me at djoham at yahoo.com and we can discuss
specifics.


Best regards,

David
