Here's my opinion.  Others may disagree. :)

  * What to call our sub-directory in WebCore/platform

I think "apollo" is appropriate. While I know it is just a code name, it's very recognizable/familiar to people at this point.

* Should we make our WebKit a subdirectory in WebKit like WebKit/ COM? Should we make a new top level directory?

I see two options here:

(1) Fix the WebKit directory to have subdirectories for each platform. That means all of the Mac subdirectories would move under WebKit/mac. Then you could have WebKit/apollo. (2) Have top-level directories for each WebKit, e.g., WebKitMac, WebKitWin, WebKitApollo, WebKitQt, etc.

My personal preference would be for (1), although note that Qt went with (2) already. Other platforms can do (1) now without us having to move our Mac files immediately, so that doesn't hold anything up.

I'd be curious to hear more opinions on this. I'm not a big fan of lots of top-level directories in a project, so I like (1) a lot better than (2).

* How to submit patches specific to our new platform ( do we enter a bug and attach patches to it? )

Yeah, and additional components/platforms can be added to Bugzilla to cover this.

* What to call the port. Apollo is just a code name and will change before we ship 1.0. We also intend that the API between the host and this port will not be specific to Apollo.


I'd stick with Apollo.
