I think Links has a huge potential because of its small size and its
independence of X.

How about if we start a fund or a bounty for javascript on Links?  How
much do you think it would cost to have it implemented?  The Links
Development page (http://links.twibright.com/development.php) shows
some prices in the thousands. I'll start by offering a modest US$100
and increase that if there is need and other people pitch in.

I think there is even a website that facilitates this process for FOSS
but I can't find it.
