I haven't played with the minibrowser, but I would love to have a 
lightweight browser that is javascript capable.  Right now I am running 
konqueror + qt/e and it is very, very heavy....

I can test and possibly do some lightweight development (I can't commit 
too much time as our product is due at the big show in November, and I 
don't even have the base filesystem building yet....)
