start a dialog with those others who are interested to work in the same
direction so that we can all coordinate our resources rather than
working at crosspurposes.
I'm currently working on gdk port with the ultimate goal of making it
a usable browser on gtk and an easily embeddable browser gadget (i.e.
gtkhtml replacement).
My strategy is simple: fix all the issues that annoy me while using it
as a browser and there's still plenty of those issues to go around. If
you run gdklauncher for a while you'll see that:
* there are drawing issues due to GraphicsContextCairo.cpp not being finished
* mouse text selection doesn't work (either a drawing issue or mouse
events not being hooked up properly)
* scrollbars are not there
* pop-up menus are not there
* some widgets are not being drawn too well
* it does crash often
* networking is very basic and doesn't run in a separate thread like it should
* plenty of "FIXME: UNIMPLEMENTED" calls
* many javascript tests fail
* layout tests cannot be run at all because there is no dumprendertree for gdk
* gdk version is not hooked up to build/test infrastructure the way
mac/qt is (i.e. build-webkit, run-javascriptcore-tests etc. scripts in
WebKitTools\Scripts don't understand gdk build)
* gdklauncher could be vastly improved
If you want to contribute, submit a patch for any of those issues or
find an issue that bothers you the most and fix that.
