Hello, I'm a student in an French engineering school ( IT/Telecommunication/networking) and I am interested in working for Enlightenment for the Google Summer of Code. I am very interested in working on the Google Widget Module project.
By reading the project summary, I understand that Webkit would be used to create a window/application to display a Google Gadget on the desktop ( like this post blog I read explains : http://www.politreco.com/2010/10/easily-embedding-webkit-into-your-efl-application/). A project called Google Gadgets for Linux already aims at providing a platform for running desktop widgets under Linux (using GTK+ and QT libraries): http://code.google.com/p/google-gadgets-for-linux/ . It provides among several things a graphics interface to call the standart graphics components of the target desktop environnement. But using Webkit, the Enlightenment widget would skip this step. So can you detail a little bit what is to be done and correct me if I got something wrong ? At the moment, how is Webkit maintened ? According to the wiki page about the EFL port of Webkit, video et geolocation are not working yet. This is likely to limit the number of available widgets (eg TV set, web TV related widgets).
