Secret ports have an absolutely horrible track record of ever catching up with public WebKit. Only one has ever been successful to my knowledge (Chromium) and I'm not even sure we could call it full success yet. (They've spent 2 years attempting to fully catch up, and yet you can't build a useabl

Thanks All. I think I am getting the general idea of what can get into to WebKit and how things fit. Right now both the standard and implementation are WIP, spec is intended to be a Web standard. At this point, neither the standard nor the implementation are public. My primary goal was to keep my

Given your description, I'm not sure this functionality is appropriate for WebKit. We are generally reluctant to take feature patches for features that are experimental or of niche interest - we prefer to focus on technologies that are part of the standards-based Web technology stack, that are

Let me put it this way, I am working on a new standard, which leverages some of HTML5 standards but tries to extend them (not enhance) to answer some of the Cable industry challenges. I started by analysing WebKit layer, it has very strong assumption of layering browser-engine, and mostly has API

I'll be the first to ask this question: what do you need to do that you can do with existing WebKit APIs, and existing web technology? With video, you could use http streaming to deliver custom content, and make sure of accelerated compositing to ensure that you can efficiently layer HTML content

Typically WebKit has 3 doors for external world (i.e whoever wants to use WebKit), platform specific interfaces and WebKit layer, and JavaScript bindings. I have special case in my hand; currently I maintain a custom branch of WebKit, I already have implemented a module which sits closely with Web
