Perhaps if the K-Meleon team accepted donations. That would attract more developers. I really want the K-Meleon project to continue.
many people with little money and old hardware here, we could not pay them, they are high salary / but idealists too // i think. best regards

The current conundrum with K-Meleon is, although it is GPL'd software the development software needed to code K-Meleon is expensive, as it is propriety Microsoft stuff (MFC), which is a huge drawback when it comes to attracting anyone to get involved in joining the development team. Of course some have enquired as to whether they could use an open source development environment such as MinGW (http://www.mingw.org/) to use in coding K-Meleon, but to no avail as it won't work with MFC applications.
Of course do not despair totally though. Ulf Erikson appears to be still paying attention to the developers mailing list, and is still answering questions on it from people (Romanito being an example). Time will tell if anything else starts swinging though.
