K-Meleon

There is no ToDo-list! What features are added next depend solely on the interests of the contributors.

Here is a very old list with thoughts assembled at the release of K-Meleon 0.6 (some of this might have been fixed since then):

(last updated: 25 October, 2001)

Developers: feel free to use this as a source of ideas for what you can do to help out.
Many of these features are very simple to add, and the only reason they're not in the code
base already is that the developers don't have the time to add them.

Bugs
