Well, it’s very promising !..

…just later show us what you - Webkit with your help - can draw now
We would also enjoy some nice panorama to sites and Minibrowser - à la native!

It’s good to see there is progress on the WebKit2 port, although this is probably just too massive for a GSoC project.

We had WebKit 2 rendering things to screen in a past GSoC project, there is no reason we couldn’t do it again. I just hope this time the code will be a bit cleaner and can be merged into the main development branch of WebKit.

While the WebKit codebase is very large, there are not so many parts involved in making a port, and, once you have identified them, it’s actually a rather linear process (fix one bug, hit the next one, fix that, and so on).

Anyway, even if it doesn’t end up with a fully working browser, a lot of progress will be made. That is still a good GSoC project, and maybe Zardshard will continue working on it after GSoC is over, too.

I hope @Zardshard is not feeling completely lost in WebKit sourcecode at the moment

Alas, I fear that may be true.

Not lost, fortunately. But it seems there are always three good ways to do something. And I have to choose one! grrr…
