DOM Projects
Last Updated 11/19/98
Looking for a bite sized NGLayout project? This could be a great way to start. Implementing the DOM is fun, and it's easy to see
the benefits of your work right away. But before you dive in, send a note to Vidur and Joki to let them know
what you're doing -- they'll be able to give you hints on where to get started, and answer your questions along the way. They'll
also let you know if the feature you're interested in working on has already been implemented. Thanks in advance for becoming part
of the NGLayout team!
