I can understand how bad you feel and I agree that "Apple does not comment on future products."-mantra can suck at times. When you look at the ARM JIT of Apple you will see they mostly target Cortex-A8 (thumb2, vfp) and IIRC your JIT is much wider (supporting many more existing devices). So my bottom line is something like please don't give up, and contributing to the JIT should be more easy now. E.g. pick a topic/theme for your work and try to get it in. I can not share that WebKit is not a open community. Of course there are vendor interests and Apple, Nokia and Torchmobile don't share some of them. E.g. Apple probably does not see the value of XHTML MP, ECMA MP and WML and still these changes go on... z. _______________________________________________ webkit-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/webkit-dev
