Hi all, Glad to see this happening. Congratulations Daniel and big thanks to Ivan and Fred for willing to mentor. :-) Ivan Vučica wrote: > Daniel's proposal has been accepted into Google Summer of Code. > > https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/projects/#5083550004019200 > > Fred and I have registered as mentors. Just wondering, is there a particular reason this is limited to WebKit? How easy would it be to make this work engine-agnostic (two different browsers on different engines or one browser with ability to switch the rendering engine by user preference)?
