Need help to start contributing for Subsurface

[Nikhil Bharadwaj]

Dear Tomaz,

Thanks for your quick reply.
But presently I am facing a small problem. I do not know what happened but
the Subsurface application is not opening. It is saying that webkits
webkitwidgets are missing.

Ill try to sort out the problem and once it is done, Ill go through the
code and let you know once I am done.

Thanks,
Regards
Nikhil Bharadwaj
