Also note that the RichEdit doesn't work in Wine yet, so it's obviously not that easy to do.

Just FYI there is an RTF Parser class already in existence in the FCL. All that would be needed to to create the visual component to deal with it. I'm not saying that that would be a snap but alot of the work has already been done.

That's useful, if I had more time I might take a look at that, but you know how it is...

where can I find some information how can I help with development of Lazarus? I can't find it on web.

Well, there isn't really any.. you just sort of pitch in and help as you can. The easiest thing to do would be to start working with Lazarus and figuring out what is missing/incomplete/broken and start tackling those things you know how to fix. For instance there are a few people who just fix a problem and post a question to the mailing list, and get someone to apply their patch(s) to CVS. If you are looking into helping out with the Win32 version there is a LOT that needs to be done, and there are currently a few people looking to get together and work on it, so you might talk to them to see how you can help out. If you are looking at helping out in general, there are a few things you might consider working on, the LCL is missing and incomplete in several areas, so you might try adding missing components, finishing incomplete, or broken ones. For Instance there is no Grid support, and while I have started some, I really haven't had the chance to make it functional enough to commit. There is also no MaskEdit, though I realize both of these projects are rather big undertakings. You might consider finishing ActionList support, or working on a Menu Property Editor.. A RichEdit would be nice as well, though again, a rather massive undertaking to make one that is crossplatform, as under win32 a dll is prvied for this, but no such luck under *nix. But as you can see there are several large portions missing, and much that is incomplete.

to begin with you might jut consider finding any minor bugs in already working controls and seeing if there is anyway you can help fix them.
