Hi,

maintainer address from port at that time... ports at textmail.me

No idea what's OFTC is... but luakit is surely really interesting,
scripting abilities are interesting. Also, it is lightweight, at least
compared with standard browsers like chrome, firefox and similar.

Well, my personal preference for such a project would be mailing list
with archive, as it is quite common here, maybe wiki, which exists for
luakit too, but it is marked outdated. Current issue tracker would need
at least some easy to use search engine...

Yes - something like this. And some kind of arrow when hovering over
link.

I'll try - I just need to find the right place to put it in (startx
itself, or start from luakit...)

Thanks for hint.

N. B. Here is a copy of my older mail, which bounced, jff (just for fun)

Hi,

this address is listed as maintainer of luakit port for FreeBSD...

Is it possible to use newer sources? There is no newer source tarball
published, but it should be possible to use some carefully chosen
snapshot from GitHub... That being written, I have no much experiences
with choosing the right one, actually I am just discovering luakit and
found it really interesting.

Also, I would like to change cursor shapes used in luakit. Could you
advice something? I am testing luakit in XFCE, but I have special setup
with luakit started directly from xinit with no window manager as well,
where this ability is requested.

Regards,
Milan
